Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board, focuses on awarding a contract for the "Mental Health Arts and Sports Project," aimed at providing psychologist services to support young people in Haringey and Islington with histories of multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The process is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This process is currently at the award stage, marking the commencement of the standstill period until 17/03/2026, and is set to start on 01/04/2026, ending on 31/03/2027 with an annual value of £260,000. The procurement method utilised is limited, involving a direct award to Open Door, Young People's Consultation Service without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contract offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in trauma-informed care, mental health services, and community-based interventions. Providers with expertise in integrating arts and sports into therapeutic settings could leverage this project to create robust pathways for youth engagement and development. The emphasis on improving access and reducing health inequalities positions SME providers as ideal candidates, given their innovative approaches and community ties. By delivering psychologist services tailored to complex histories, businesses have a chance to expand their reach and establish a strong presence in public health initiatives. The scoring criteria, which reward quality, innovation, and collaboration, ensure that a strategic focus on these areas will be beneficial and impactful.
