Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Berkshire Complex Mental Health Floating Support Service was conducted by Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, targeting rehabilitation services in the UKJ11 region, specifically Bracknell. The procurement method used was a restricted Provider Selection Regime, limited without prior public competition call, adhering to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This process culminated in the confirmation of contract award via direct award process. The contracting authority formally awarded the contract on 2nd March 2026, following a standstill period where representations could be made by 24th February 2026. The service is scheduled to operate from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, underscored by its importance in addressing complex mental health needs of adults within Berkshire.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses skilled in mental health rehabilitation services, particularly those already operating within Berkshire or similar locales. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on quality and innovation, as well as those experienced in collaboration and service sustainability, are likely to thrive. Such businesses can leverage their expertise in enhancing health service delivery while contributing to social value and reducing health inequalities. The existing provider, Elmore Community Services, was deemed satisfactory under this selection regime, implying opportunities for competing organisations to demonstrate similar or greater capacity in delivering value-driven mental health support services.
