Summary of the contracting process

Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership Trust is procuring a specialist mental health residential care and rehabilitation service at Hawkesbury Lodge, a refurbished 14-bed unit in Coventry. The service is for suitable patients currently placed outside the area. The provider is expected to work with the Trust’s care teams to support rehabilitation and help patients move on to supported accommodation or independent living. This combines residential mental health care with rehabilitation, rather than simply providing accommodation. The work is delivered in Coventry, West Midlands, and falls within health and social care services, including residential health facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Rethink Mental Illness. The award date was 1 July 2026, with a value of £3 million excluding VAT (£3.6 million including VAT). The contract period is scheduled to run from 27 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a 24-month renewal option and a maximum possible end date of 30 September 2031. The Trust used an open competitive flexible procedure with two stages and supplier dialogue before final tenders. Five suppliers reached the final stage. There was one lot, evaluated on quality and technical merit (80%) and annual price (20%). The original tender estimated £4 million excluding VAT (£4.8 million including VAT).

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need to combine specialist residential mental health care with structured rehabilitation, and deliver support in partnership with NHS care teams. The service’s purpose is to help patients placed outside their home area regain the skills and stability needed to move into supported accommodation or live independently. Providers would need suitable capacity to operate a small, dedicated residential unit and experience managing care pathways towards those outcomes. The competition placed substantially greater weight on quality and technical merit than annual price, so evidence of a sound care model, effective coordination with clinical teams and rehabilitation outcomes would be central to a persuasive offer. The Trust’s award to a large mental health organisation demonstrates the scale and specialist focus of the provider selected.
