Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of Talking Therapies Services in Bolton. The process falls under the health services category with CPV classification 85100000. The procurement was conducted via a limited procedure, utilising the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract has been awarded to 1Point (North West) Ltd as of 1st April 2026 with a value of £453,569. The process did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, since it aligns with the provider selection regime rules, indicating the incumbent provider's satisfactory performance and future capability.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in mental health and therapy services. Companies that have a strong track record in delivering effective mental health services, especially in the Greater Manchester region, would have been well-suited to compete. The procurement process demonstrates a preference for direct awards to proven service providers, suggesting that organisations with established capabilities and relationships within the public health sector may favourably position themselves for similar future contract opportunities.
