Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board has outlined the procurement process for the "Leaving Care Counselling & Psychotherapy Service (Suicide Prevention)" with a contract term from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The service focuses on providing psychotherapy and mental health support to care leavers and unaccompanied asylum seekers aged 18 to 25 within the regions of Haringey and Islington. The procurement falls under the category of services specifically classified as psychiatrist or psychologist services. Governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, the procurement method is a limited direct award, consolidated on the decision made by the NCL ICB Committee on 24th February 2026. The final contract was awarded on 5th March 2026, with a contract value of £19,570.

This procurement opportunity presents growth prospects for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those with experience in psychotherapy and counselling. This tender is particularly suited to suppliers that are adept at integrating innovative quality measures, collaboration, and service sustainability. As the procurement method was limited without a prior call for competition, established providers such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who are already demonstrating robust performance in these areas may find competitive advantage. Engaging in such contracts allows businesses to enhance service delivery and consolidate a reputation within the healthcare sector, offering potential for future contracts within public health service provision.
