Summary of the contracting process

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (WYICB) has initiated a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice concerning Positive Behaviour Support in Wakefield, focusing on community health services for children and young people aged 5-19 years. The prospective contract, valued at £916,000 and set to span from 1 May 2025 to 31 March 2028, is within the services category under CPV code 85323000. Critical representations need to be submitted by 19 June 2026, marking the end of the standstill period. The procurement process follows a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, adhering specifically to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the more general Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023.

For businesses capable of delivering high-quality, integrated community health services that provide significant social value and enhance access while reducing health inequalities, this tender represents a potential avenue for business expansion. The prior assessment underscored Affinity Trust's competencies; however, other businesses with a well-established track record in delivering similar services may find competitive opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities. Providers that prioritise patient outcomes and system stability will particularly align with the objectives of this contract, making it essential for businesses to showcase strategic planning and integration within the local healthcare system.
