Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, concerns the "Provision of Various CAMHS services," focusing on psychiatric hospital services under the health care industry category. The process is concluded, with the contract awarded on 13th July 2026, to Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. The award followed a limited procurement method, bypassing prior publication due to the specialised needs of the services and lack of realistic alternatives. These services are integral and tailored, predominantly provided in Oxford within the UKJ1 region for the financial year 2026-27.

This tender opens significant avenues for organisations entrenched in the health care services industry, particularly those specialising in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). The contract aligns with strategic growth for entities capable of delivering highly integrated and specialised psychiatric services. Though awarded without competitive bidding, it underscores opportunities for large-scale providers who can swiftly adapt to highly specific service requirements and integrated care processes. As the focus is on continuity and integration of care, similar providers might find future openings through demonstrating unique qualifications or innovative service approaches.

Procurement Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under Health Care Services (PSR 2023). For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of PCR2015 or PA2023 do not apply to this award. There is no realistic alternative to the existing provider due to the nature of the health careservices. The integrated nature of our services, systems and processes means this could not reasonably be provided by another supplier. Due to the nature of the health care services, patients are typically placed based on bed availability and clinical presentation, therefore there are limitations to patient choice.
