Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured community health services for parents experiencing mild to moderate perinatal mental health difficulties. The requirement is to deliver face-to-face peer-support community groups in Cambridgeshire, supporting parents from pregnancy until their child reaches age five. This is a frontline service intended to align with wider support interventions and local health provision. The work covers a new service delivered by a new provider, rather than an established contract continuation. It is relevant to organisations with experience providing perinatal mental health support, peer-led community groups and accessible services for parents and families. Providers must be able to operate across Cambridgeshire and work within the local system alongside other support services.

The procurement was run as an open procedure under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender closed on 27 July 2026, evaluation began on 28 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 11 September 2026. Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire (CPSL) Mind Ltd was selected following evaluation of five bids. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with no renewal or additional options. Its awarded contract value is £96,307.22. Evaluation weighted quality and innovation at 45%, value at 30%, integration, collaboration and sustainability at 11%, access and health inequalities at 7%, and social value at 7%; price carried no weighting.

This award indicates demand for a focused, community-based perinatal mental health service rather than a general clinical provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate safe, high-quality peer support delivered face to face, with a sound understanding of mild to moderate perinatal mental health needs from pregnancy through early childhood. Strong evidence of quality and innovation would matter most, alongside value, effective integration with existing support interventions, collaboration with local health and community partners, and sustainable delivery. Providers should also be able to improve access, reduce health inequalities, offer meaningful choice and generate social value in Cambridgeshire. Experience working within the local system would strengthen their position.
