Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by NHS Central East Integrated Care Board involves the intention to award a contract for Mental Health Services to CPSL Mind. This contract, governed by the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, is expected to deliver essential health services including The Sanctuary, Discharge Buddy Service, and STOP Suicide Prevention Campaigns among others.

The decision followed a recommendation by the ICB Board on 16th January 2026, with representations by providers due by 13th May 2026. Services will be operational across regions UKH11 and UKH12, coinciding with changes to the ICB structures effective from April 2026 and 2027, steered by NHS England.

Businesses focusing on community mental health services, suicide prevention, and perinatal mental health could find substantial avenues to collaborate with CPSL Mind under the contract whilst benefiting from the indicative financial values outlined. Healthcare enterprises capable of addressing emotional difficulties and providing supportive care systems such as discharge buddy services would be well-suited to participate, enhancing regional healthcare provisions while fostering innovation in service delivery. Additionally, entities with capabilities to navigate integrated care board changes and system adaptations led by NHS England may prove advantageous in this evolving landscape.
