Summary of the contracting process

The Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is progressing with the intention to award a contract for "Peer Support Worker Groups 26-27", focusing on community health services across Cornwall. This procurement follows the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, excluding provisions from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The process, currently in the award stage, highlights a limited procurement method without the need for prior publication of a call for competition. The decision makers will accept any representations from providers before 5th May 2026 at midnight. The standstill period marks the current stage before the formal award, with expectations to finalise the contract shortly thereafter.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for SMEs and organisations specialising in mental health and community health services. With an active contract valued at £86,990.78, businesses can tap into the demand for peer support worker groups, aligning their services with both financial growth and societal impact. Cornwall Mind, which has been identified as the supplier, suggests a potential collaborative model or partnership approach, particularly for businesses within the UKK30 region or those with existing experience in community service provision. This tender underscores the importance of adherence to regulatory frameworks like the PSR, making it suitable for organisations that are keen on leveraging structured procurement paths for their strategic expansion.
