Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is initiating an award process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for a service contract to support perinatal mental health in Halton and Warrington. The process pertains to the "Parents In Mind Service" which falls under the health services category, aiming to provide trained mental health peer support to women from pregnancy up to 24 months after childbirth. The procurement follows a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the notice marking the start of the standstill period on 4th March 2026. Providers are required to submit representations to the decision makers within eight working days from this date. The contract is intended to commence on 1st April 2026 and will last for one year, with an annual value of £117,700.

This tender offers a growth opportunity for organisations involved in health services, particularly those with expertise in mental health and peer support initiatives. Although the award process is directed towards the incumbent supplier, the National Childbirth Trust, companies skilled in providing similar services and fostering integrations would benefit from engaging with such contracts in the future. The focus on social value, health access, collaboration, and innovation indicates that businesses proficient in enriching community health solutions are well-suited to compete. Organisations operating in Halton, Warrington, or the broader Cheshire and Merseyside area may also find future opportunities to collaborate or integrate services to address mental health needs effectively.
