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 levels of CAMHS support, including tier 4 services: low-secure inpatient care, general adolescent inpatient care and treatment for eating disorders when required on a case-by-case basis. The services are psychiatric hospital services. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, based in Kettering. The requirement concerns specialist healthcare provision rather than general consultancy, facilities management or routine goods supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Priory Group Ltd. The award date was 13 July 2026 and the contract value is £396,579.80. The contract is active and was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, because the Trust considered 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. One bid was recorded. Evaluation placed 100% emphasis on quality, specifically the absence of a realistic alternative provider, with quality criteria referenced; cost had a weighting of 0%. The contract covers the stated CAMHS requirement for the 2026–27 financial year.

This award indicates demand for specialist, out-of-county CAMHS capacity serving a broad geographical area and complex tier 4 needs. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would be established providers of psychiatric hospital services with low-secure inpatient facilities, general adolescent provision and the ability to treat eating disorders when cases arise. Credibility would depend on delivering clinically appropriate care across different CAMHS requirements, managing variable case-by-case demand and supporting young people who cannot be treated locally. The procurement also shows the importance of integration with the Trust’s existing healthcare systems and processes. Competitors would therefore need strong operational links with NHS services, suitable specialist facilities, experienced clinical teams and the organisational capacity to provide coordinated care at scale.
