Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board is seeking providers for mental health support services for children in Trafford. This tender, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, aims to commission services through two separate lots: Universal Emotional Health and Wellbeing Support for children aged 5-13 years, and Targeted Early Intervention and Prevention for children aged 8-18 years. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 27 April 2026. The services will commence from 1 October 2026 for a two-year period with an option for a one-year extension, culminating on 30 September 2029. The total contract value is £900,000, and the procurement will be conducted via an open procedure.

This tender provides significant business opportunities for organisations specialising in child mental health services, particularly those capable of delivering preventative and early intervention programmes. Suitable bidders include companies experienced in health services, particularly in the Greater Manchester area, looking to expand their service portfolio through public sector contracts. Given the open procedure, there is an equal opportunity to compete for both lots, either separately or together, offering substantial growth opportunities with a robust financial commitment from the NHS. Businesses focusing on regional health service delivery and having the capacity to cater to both universal and targeted mental health support are likely to find this a promising opportunity.
