Summary of the contracting process

The Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust has recently awarded a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) to support the 'CAMHS THRIVE-ing While We Wait' programme. This service targets children and young people (CYP) and their carers, providing them with much-needed support while awaiting further assessment or intervention from CAMHS. The contract, valued at £90,000 over two years, was awarded on 18th March 2026, and services are scheduled to run from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2028. The procurement process followed a limited procurement method, specifically without a prior call for competition, focusing on identifying the most suitable provider for the community health services. This initiative primarily operates within the Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland areas, with the contract awarded to 'Heads Up Leicester'.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community health services aimed at supporting children's mental health, particularly those that can develop collaborative, sustainable service models. Ideal enterprises for this contract would bring expertise in digital content creation, culturally adapted workshops, and community engagement to reduce waiting times for CAMHS interventions. Companies with a focus on integrating health services and improving treatment readiness in line with national and local NHS priorities could leverage this opportunity to expand and strengthen their client base within the health sector in the UK Midlands region.
