Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust procured speech and language therapy for children and young people using its national and specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) outpatient teams. The therapy forms part of patients’ treatment programmes, so the requirement combines clinical assessment and intervention with delivery integrated into specialist mental health outpatient care. The procurement is classified as community health services, with counselling services as an additional category. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The contracting authority is South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bethlem Royal Hospital in Beckenham. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, covering speech and language therapy for CAMHS national and specialist outpatients.

The procurement is recorded at the awarded stage. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The published award information names Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as the selected supplier, with an award date of 1 August 2026. The associated contract is active and valued at £538,242. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. Representations were due by midnight on 19 August 2026 during the stated standstill period.

This procurement demonstrates demand for specialist speech and language therapy linked to national and specialist CAMHS outpatient treatment. A credible competitor would need the clinical capability to provide speech and language therapy for children and young people, and to integrate that work into patients’ wider mental health treatment programmes. Relevant experience of specialist outpatient settings and the ability to support geographically broad delivery would be important, given the United Kingdom delivery area. The selected supplier is a large NHS foundation trust, indicating that familiarity with NHS clinical governance, referral pathways and multidisciplinary working would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also understand the Provider Selection Regime and be prepared to compete on price where the buyer uses a price-based evaluation.
