Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Assertive Outreach Pathway" was managed by the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. This service-focused contract falls under the health services industry category (CPV code 85100000) and is located in the regions of Bury, Salford, and Trafford within the UK. The procurement stage has been completed, with the award being announced on 18th June 2026. The contract went through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without the prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the directive.

This tender offers potential business growth opportunities, especially for service providers in the health sector, capable of delivering specialised outreach programs. Although the contract was directly awarded to The Big Life Group, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Manchester, similar businesses with the capability to provide high-standard service delivery might look for partnerships or future opportunities in similar procurements. The contract value of £488,643 showcases substantial investment opportunities in the public health procurement landscape for qualified suppliers.
