Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, concerning a contract titled "Specialist Therapy" within the health services industry, has reached the award stage. The contract, valued at GBP 34,435, was signed on 1st April 2026. Located in the UK, this procurement involved a limited method without a prior call for competition, aiming to deliver specialist therapy services for male victims of rape and sexual abuse. This specific procurement strategy was employed as it was considered outside the standard directive, underlining the unique requirements of the service provision.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for specialised service providers within the health sector, particularly those skilled in trauma-informed care for sensitive client groups. With "We Are Survivors" as the awarded supplier, the tender illustrates ideal prospects for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focused on health services collaboration in the Greater Manchester area. Businesses adept in developing niche therapeutic programmes and possessing a deep understanding of the specific needs of vulnerable populations would find similar tenders to be highly conducive to growth and expansion within the public sector market.
