Summary of the contracting process

The Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is managing the procurement process for the CAMHS Emotional Health & Wellbeing service and Bereavement & Loss Service. Situated in Ashton-Under-Lyne, UKD35, the procurement addresses the health services category, specifically targeting CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services). The process is currently at the intention to award stage under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), with relevant regulations outlined by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The standstill period is active, and providers are invited to make representations to the decision makers by 23rd March 2026. The contract is valued at approximately £95,000, scheduled to run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly those already providing healthcare services or looking to expand into this specialised sector. As the process follows a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition, businesses well-established in the health services domain, particularly those familiar with CAMHS, may find themselves in an advantageous position. The contract has been intended for direct award to Early Break, recognising their performance under the existing contract and expected capability to meet the new contract standards. Companies with a similar operational scale and focus on community and emotional health services are well-suited to follow and potentially benefit from the knowledge shared through this PSR-led procurement process.
