Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a Children and Young People (CYP) Behavioural Intervention Support Programme in Hertfordshire. The requirement is a health service providing early intervention and prevention support for children and young people, with the programme focused on behavioural intervention. Delivery is in Hertfordshire. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and managed by NHS England, with NHS England’s East of England team identified as the award decision maker. The selected provider is HCRG Care Services Limited, a large organisation whose role is to deliver the service. This opportunity is relevant to providers of children’s and young people’s behavioural health, early intervention, prevention, and related clinical or community support services operating in Hertfordshire.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure and competitive process under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. HCRG Care Services Limited was selected after achieving the highest scores and passing the relevant basic selection criteria. The award date was 13 August 2026 and the active contract was signed for £200,000. The service period is 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2028, with an option to extend by up to one year; the stated total value including extensions is £300,000. Four bids were received, all electronically. Evaluation weighted Quality and Innovation at 40%, Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability at 40%, Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice at 10%, and Social Value at 10%; Value was pass or fail.

This award confirms established NHS demand in Hertfordshire for an integrated behavioural intervention service for children and young people, combining early intervention and prevention with improved access and reduced health inequalities. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in delivering CYP behavioural support at service scale, together with strong quality and innovation. Evidence of working effectively with NHS commissioners, health and community partners, and other local services would be important because integration, collaboration and service sustainability carry substantial weight. Providers should also be able to show meaningful social value outcomes and a practical approach to widening choice and access. The winning provider passed the basic selection criteria and scored highest overall, setting a clear benchmark for capability and delivery quality.
