Summary of the contracting process

The Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is engaging in a procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime, specifically targeting contracts related to Adult Mental Health services with roles such as Safe Haven, Recovery Workers, Information and Options Workers, and Community Navigators. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and primarily supports patients within the Adult MH Teams in Oxford, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is at the award phase, commencing a standstill period as of 19th March 2026. The procurement method is limited, which involves awarding a contract without prior publication of a call for competition, as justified under the PSR Direct Award Process. The intention is to award the contract to the Buckinghamshire and East Berkshire Mind Charity, a large-scale organisation known for its existing service provision.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly for organisations capable of delivering mental health support services. Companies well-suited to compete in such procurement processes include those with a proven track record in supporting mental health initiatives and a strong presence in the UK's health sector. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions and demonstrate high-quality service delivery are likely to benefit from this tender, given the emphasis on quality over price in the award criteria. Additionally, the involvement of entities like the NHSE Independent Patient Choice and Procurement Panel underscores the importance of aligning service delivery with patient choice and designated procurement protocols.
