This contract, valued approximately at £359,670, is set to commence on 1 April 2026 and will conclude on 31 March 2027. The procurement falls within the health services category, specifically targeting community crisis and recovery care, and is located in the Northwest region of England (UKD4). As part of a limited procurement method, an intention to award the contract was established and confirmed by the NHS ICB Executive Team on 17 February 2026. The standstill period for potential provider representations ends on 1 April 2026.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for existing health service providers, especially those specialising in crisis and recovery services, to align with the NHS's strategic objectives of quality, integration, and sustainability. As the procurement is following a direct award process, businesses that have previously met the NHS criteria and can demonstrate service excellence and value addition are ideally positioned to benefit.
