Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board has announced the awarding of a contract to The Barnet Bereavement Service for providing bereavement support and suicide mental health prevention services in Barnet. The contract, valued at £30,974, will commence on 1st April 2026 and continue for two years until 31st March 2028. The procurement falls under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the 2023 Regulations, highlighting that standard Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. This direct award process followed a limited procurement method without prior publication due to it being a repetition of existing services. Key criteria influencing the award decision included quality and innovation, value, integration, service sustainability, access, health inequalities, choice, and social value.

This contract presents a remarkable opportunity for businesses specialising in psychiatrist or psychologist services, particularly those focusing on bereavement support and suicide prevention. Organisations capable of enhancing mental health services through quality and innovative approaches, while ensuring sustainable integration into community welfare frameworks, stand a strong chance to contribute effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises might find this sector advantageous, especially if they can deliver high social value and address health disparities with proficient solutions, facilitating service access and choice for the local population in Barnet.
