Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by NHS England, focuses on the "PCREF Feedback Mechanism (Part 3) - Measurement and research infrastructure" aimed at developing patient-informed tools to address and measure experiences of racism and discrimination in mental health services. The process falls under the category of health services with direct procurement below the threshold, meaning there was no competition. The contracting authority, located at Wellington House, London, has completed the award stage and has an active contract with the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. The contract period commenced on 19th February 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, which aligns with NHS England's mission to enhance the consistent national measurement, learning, and improvement in mental health services.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for large-scale health service providers like the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, specialising in innovative research and mental health services. Despite the absence of competition in this direct procurement process, organisations with expertise in developing evidence-based, patient-centred research tools could significantly contribute to national improvements in mental health services. Business growth can be achieved through collaboration with central government authorities and the potential for future contractual engagements in similar initiatives aimed at advancing public health outcomes.
