Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, acting as the buying organisation, has awarded a contract for the provision of step 3 mental health therapy via a digital platform under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract, awarded to Dr Julian Medical Group Limited, is classified under the health services category. The procurement process was conducted under a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract is set to commence from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with the option to extend for two additional 12-month periods. The services will be delivered in the UK, specifically in the East Malling region, Kent.

This award presents significant opportunities for large-scale digital health providers to collaborate with government health services and expand their offerings in mental health care. With a contract value up to £1,080,000, it allows for scalable service delivery based on need, providing a stable revenue stream for the supplier. Companies specialising in digital health solutions, particularly those with expertise in mental health, are best positioned to benefit and compete in similar procurement opportunities that involve delivering healthcare services through innovative digital platforms. The absence of the traditional competitive tender process underscores the importance of pre-existing frameworks and relationships in securing such contracts.
