Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust procured rehabilitation services from a voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise provider. The requirement was described as a VCSFE rehabilitation provider selection regime and falls within health services. The buyer is based at Bury New Road, Prestwich, Manchester, and the service delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom. The procurement was for one rehabilitation services requirement, intended to support the Trust’s health-related service provision. Making Space, a large organisation based in Warrington, was identified as the selected supplier. The scope is therefore relevant to organisations delivering rehabilitation services, particularly those able to operate within a public-sector mental health and health-services setting.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 16 March 2026, and five bids were recorded. The requirement had an estimated value of £864,000 including the single lot, with price as the award criterion. Making Space received the active award for the lot. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and has a value of £865,000. The stated contract duration is 360 days. The process records the lot as cancelled, while also recording an active award and active contract following an amendment describing the end of the standstill period and contract award under the applicable provider selection regime regulations.

This award demonstrates established demand from Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust for a substantial, defined rehabilitation service delivered by a voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise provider. Competitors would need an organisation capable of delivering rehabilitation services in a public mental health context, with the operational capacity to provide the full requirement rather than a narrow specialist component. The evaluation was based on price, so credible suppliers would also need disciplined cost control and a clear understanding of the delivery model. Making Space’s profile indicates that the buyer accepted a large provider for this requirement, making scale, service continuity and the ability to manage public-sector delivery important considerations when pursuing comparable work from this buyer.
