Summary of the contracting process

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (NHSWYICB) has confirmed the award of a contract for the "Positive Behaviour Support Wakefield" service. The service, aimed at community health services, focuses on children and young people aged 5-19 in Wakefield with a target to improve life quality and address behavioural challenges. The contract, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Having undergone the PSR assessment, Affinity Trust will continue as the provider. This decision followed a direct award process, reinforcing the provider's consistent delivery of high-quality and integrated care. The contract commenced on 1st May 2025 and runs until 31st March 2028, with a total value of £916,000.

This procurement presents opportunities for firms engaged in community health services, especially those capable of delivering behavioural support frameworks. While the contract is already awarded to Affinity Trust, businesses specialising in innovative health service delivery might explore potential subcontracting opportunities or prepare for future similar tenders. Organisations with a focus on care quality, value for money, and addressing health inequalities, particularly within the Wakefield region, would be well-suited to this type of procurement. The continued engagement of the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board with proven providers underscores the emphasis on stability and quality in service delivery.
