Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council is in the process of awarding a contract for the delivery of mental health support services to children and young people, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement, classified within the health services industry, aims to improve health equity among children, young people, and families and is based in the UKD33 region. The procurement method used is a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, and the intention to award notice began on 28 April 2026 with a standstill period that ends on 8 May 2026. The contract is valued at £255,658.92 and is still in the award stage, with the final contract not yet formally signed.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those focusing on mental health and wellbeing for young people, to engage with public sector initiatives aimed at improving community health outcomes. Although the direct award implies limited competition, businesses with an existing footprint in integrated children's health services within Manchester may find themselves well-positioned to leverage this opportunity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector, especially those familiar with regional healthcare dynamics, are likely to be suited to collaborate effectively with Manchester City Council and benefit from this contract.
