Summary of the contracting process

The Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has initiated a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process for the "Stroke Befriending Service 26-27", focusing on community health services within the UKK30 region. This procurement is under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The intent is to renew previously outsourced stroke services for the financial year 2026-27. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the intent to award notice published on 24 April 2026, marking the beginning of a standstill period that ends on 6 May 2026. Businesses interested in this opportunity must submit representations by 12 midnight on the final date.

This tender provides opportunities for organisations proficient in community health services to partner with Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement method allows for a direct award without prior publication of a competition call, streamlining the supplier selection process. This is a lucrative opportunity for small to medium enterprises, evidenced by the successful supplier Volunteer Cornwall, to enhance their portfolio and expand their services in the regional health sector. The renewal variety encourages businesses with previous experience in service delivery to demonstrate their ability to satisfy the current contract as well as to adapt to new iterations.
