Summary of the contracting process

NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned NHS Talking Therapies for Hull, a community mental health service for adults aged 18 and over registered with Hull GP practices. The service provides a structured clinical pathway for people experiencing depression and anxiety, including triage, assessment and treatment by suitably trained clinicians. It is intended to improve mental and physical health, support recovery and reduce emotional distress, following NHS England Talking Therapies requirements and NICE guideline NG222. The work is primarily psychological and clinical care, with associated nursing and rehabilitation services. Delivery is in Hull, using community-based locations and appropriate digital access routes, including alternatives for people who are digitally excluded.

The contract was awarded to City Health Care Partnership CIC under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using direct award process C without a prior call for competition. The award date was 15 July 2026 and the contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend by two years. Its approximate lifetime value is £28,026,275. The stated evaluation basis was that the existing provider is meeting the original contract and is likely to meet the proposed contract sufficiently, with arrangements not changing considerably. The published key criteria were quality 30%, value 30%, integration, collaboration and sustainability 15%, access and reducing health inequalities 10%, social value 10%, and innovation 5%.

This requirement indicates demand for an established NHS Talking Therapies provider able to deliver safe, effective and patient-centred care for depression and anxiety at community scale. A credible future competitor would need suitably trained clinicians, robust governance and performance management, and evidence against referral, assessment waiting-time, recovery and reliable-recovery indicators. The service model favours providers able to offer timely early intervention, stepped-care treatment and multiple access routes, combining digital tools with non-digital options. Strong integration with acute mental health services and other healthcare partners is important, as is the ability to sustain a skilled workforce. Relevant strengths also include patient choice, safeguarding and domestic-abuse awareness, inclusive employment, environmental sustainability, social value and reinvestment in local services and communities.
