Summary of the contracting process

The Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has announced an intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for "Individual Placement Support (IPS) 26-27" services within the community health services category, specifically in the UKK30 region. This is part of a limited procurement method without a prior publication of a call for competition. The announcement serves as the starting point for a standstill period, ending at midnight on 5 May 2026, during which representations must be made via email. This procurement aims to engage with service providers for Community Mental Health led by the Associate Director of Operations. The contract, valued at £1,127,543.76, has been signed with Pentreath Limited, a supplier currently satisfying all key criteria under the current agreement and expected to continue in the new iteration of the contract.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those with expertise in delivering tailored support in mental health environments. Given the nature of the procurement method, businesses that can offer highly specialised and compliant services without extensive competitive submissions stand a better chance of succeeding, particularly if they can demonstrate a proven track record in such services. Small and medium-sized enterprises, like Pentreath Limited, with an established presence in the region, could leverage this contract to enhance their portfolio and grow their business by providing valuable, high-impact services aligned with the needs of public health organisations.
