Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden is set to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the "Best Start Family Service - Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) and Parent-infant Relationships (PIR)" project. This intention to award notice pertains to health services focused on perinatal mental health and parent-infant relationships, classified under CPV code 85100000. The project will be delivered in London, specifically the UKI31 region, by the current service provider, North London NHS Foundation Trust. The process is in the Award stage, and the contract will run for 33 months from 1st July 2026 to 31st March 2029, with a total contract value of £1,533,062. Stakeholders should note that representations regarding the award must be made by 24th July 2026.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in clinical psychology services, particularly those experienced in designing and developing perinatal mental health and parent-infant relationship programmes. Businesses that can provide quality and innovative health service solutions, focus on integration and collaboration, improve access, reduce health inequalities, and deliver social value would be well-positioned for similar opportunities in the sector. While this award follows a limited procurement method without prior publication due to the PSR, firms with a strategic focus on health services in regional or local authority sectors, specifically within London, may find growth opportunities in aligning with guideline processes outlined in this procurement.
