Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured out-of-county Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) for the 2026–27 financial year. The requirement covers various service tiers, including general adolescent mental health provision and eating-disorder support, delivered on a case-by-case basis. The procurement is for healthcare services, specifically psychiatric hospital services, supporting children and young people who need specialist care outside the county. The recorded delivery location is Sheffield. The buyer is Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, based at St Mary’s Hospital in Kettering. The selected provider, Riverdale Grange Limited, is based in Sheffield. The requirement concerns integrated CAMHS provision, including the systems and processes needed to support continuity of care across the relevant services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) 2023. It used a limited procedure with an award made without prior publication of a call for competition, because the buyer stated there was no realistic alternative to the existing provider and that the integrated services, systems and processes could not reasonably be provided by another supplier. Riverdale Grange Limited was awarded the contract for £316,922.20. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and is active. The award covered the CAMHS requirement described above. Quality was the sole recorded evaluation basis, weighted at 100%, with cost weighted at 0%. One bid was recorded. The related lot was cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award indicates demand from Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for specialist out-of-county CAMHS capacity, including general adolescent services and eating-disorder support delivered case by case. A credible future competitor would need to provide psychiatric hospital or equivalent specialist healthcare services for children and young people, with the clinical capability to meet different CAMHS tier requirements. Experience supporting adolescents with eating disorders would be relevant, as would the ability to manage referrals and care on an individual case basis. The buyer’s stated rationale shows that integration with existing services, systems and processes is important, so suppliers would need strong information governance, safe clinical coordination and dependable interfaces with NHS pathways. The evaluation emphasis also indicates that demonstrable service quality is more important than price alone.
