Summary of the contracting process

NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board procured specialist mental health treatment for BSW ICB patients with severe, complex obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and dermoatillomania. The service is intended for a patient whose symptoms have not responded to usual NHS psychological or psychiatric treatment, with a severe and life-limiting impact on mental health. The scope includes assessment of the appropriate treatment pathway and expected treatment length, NICE-recommended therapy delivered by specialists in severe and complex OCD, and close liaison with local services and community mental health teams during and after treatment. The selected provider is Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, through its Specialist Psychological Intervention Centre in Oxford. The commissioning organisation is based in Chippenham.

This is an awarded Provider Selection Regime contract made under Regulation 13 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, following an urgent award without prior publication of a competition because treatment needed to start quickly to protect patient care and safety. The award decision was made by the BSW Mental Health Non-Contracted Activity and Placements Forum and approved under delegated financial limits. Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust was selected for the treatment service. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and has a value of £10,000. The procurement record describes price as the award criterion and records one bid. The associated lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award indicates demand for highly specialist psychological treatment for severe and complex OCD and dermoatillomania where standard NHS services cannot provide the required expertise. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need a specialist clinical team experienced in treating high-complexity OCD, dermoatillomania and patients who have not responded to usual psychological or psychiatric approaches. Credible provision would include NICE-recommended therapeutic approaches, robust assessment and treatment planning, the ability to determine an appropriate pathway and likely treatment length, and close working with local services and community mental health teams. Providers would also need to support continuity after specialist treatment, with progress monitored through community services. The award demonstrates a requirement for focused, individualised intervention capable of addressing serious deterioration in quality of life and recovery barriers.
