Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board coordinates a multilateral mental health services contract with North London NHS Foundation Trust. The services include Commissioner Requested Services and essential mental health services, as well as specialised services. The trust is described as the only provider capable of delivering the services because of their nature. The contract also involves NHS North East London Integrated Care Board and NHS South West London Integrated Care Board as associate commissioners. The work is delivered in London and is classified as psychiatric hospital services (CPV 85111500).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to North London NHS Foundation Trust. The award was made through Direct Award Process A under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a competition, on the stated basis that only this provider could deliver the services. The contract term is one year, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a stated lifetime value of £407,836,180. The contract record gives signatures dated 1 April 2026 and 16 June 2026. One lot is described, although its status is recorded as cancelled while the awards and contracts are active. The published award criteria are price; bid statistics record one bid for each of two entries, with values of £407,836,180 and £415,357,156.

This award indicates recurring demand from NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board for a broad package of mental health care, including essential and commissioner-requested services alongside specialist provision. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate the clinical breadth and organisational capacity to provide these services as an integrated package, and to meet the requirements of NHS commissioners across a multilateral arrangement. The selected provider is an NHS foundation trust and was stated to be uniquely capable of delivering the requirement; a future competitor would therefore need strong evidence that it can safely and reliably provide the same service scope. The award route relied on the Provider Selection Regime and a direct award rationale based on the nature of the services, so the buyer’s assessment of provider capability is central to understanding this purchase. No specific accreditations or additional qualification thresholds are described.
