Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Consultant Support to Early Intervention" was conducted by the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, a body governed by public law, located in Manchester, UK. This tender, classified under the health services industry category, involves the provision of consultant support to the early intervention team. The process reached the award stage as of 11th June 2026, with the contract signed on 1st April 2026 for a total amount of £39,344 GBP. The procurement method was limited, applied as a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the necessity for cross-specialty collaboration which cannot be realistically separated from other health services provided in the region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those capable of providing specialised consultancy for community health interventions. It is an excellent opportunity for large-scale health service providers who have existing collaborations with mental health trusts and the capability to deliver integrated health services. Companies involved in the management and delivery of mental health services, especially those focusing on youth care, could leverage this contract to expand their professional reach and enhance their organisational footprint within the Greater Manchester area, working closely with established NHS trusts.
