Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board is engaged in a public procurement process titled "Nafsiyat Intercultural Same Language Counselling - C406295," categorised under Psychiatrist or psychologist services. This tender involves providing culturally appropriate counselling services in multiple languages for individuals with mental health needs, specifically in the regions of Haringey and Islington. The procurement process is governed by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, utilising a direct award procedure without prior publication, and falls outside the traditional Public Contracts Regulations. The procurement process, currently at the contract award stage, confirms the contract's commencement from 1 April 2026, running through to 31 March 2028. The awarded contract has a total value of £99,998 over two years, with no option for extension, and was formally awarded on 18 February 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in multicultural mental health services, particularly those that can provide integrated, sustainable, and innovative solutions. Companies with expertise in improving access and reducing health inequalities stand to benefit most. As part of the process, the procurement heavily weighs criteria such as quality, value, collaboration, and social impact, offering providers a chance to demonstrate their capabilities in these areas. NAFSIYAT, an existing provider classified as an SME and based in London, has been successful in the procurement, suggesting that small to medium enterprises with similar credentials, particularly those already operating within North Central London, may find it advantageous to engage in similar tendering opportunities with the NHS.
