Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board has issued an intention to award notice for the provision of Digital Mental Health Services. This award, part of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), is subject to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023 and not the Procurement Act Regulations 2023. The contract is valued at approximately £749,325 and is set for a duration from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with an optional extension of 12 months. The process uses a limited procurement method without prior publication, specifically tailored for awarding contracts that fall outside the scope of the directive. This contract focuses on health services within the UKK2 region, with Kooth Digital Health Limited identified as the intended supplier. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with representations by providers due by midnight on Wednesday, 22nd April.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in digital health services, particularly those capable of providing innovative and robust solutions in mental health care. Businesses with experience and credentials in health service provision, especially within the NHS framework, would find themselves well-suited to this procurement. The contract represents not only a notable financial opportunity but also a chance to enhance reputation and expand influence in the burgeoning digital health sector. It is an ideal opportunity for businesses that can offer competitive pricing and secure effective service delivery without the need for a competitive tender process due to the direct award nature under the PSR.
