Summary of the contracting process

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust is seeking a supplier for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Tier 4 beds and associated services. The requirement covers psychiatric hospital services, hospital and related services, and community health services for patients in the BNSSG area. This is a healthcare services opportunity for an organisation able to provide specialist inpatient mental health beds alongside the related clinical and community support needed for Tier 4 CAMHS provision. The procurement is categorised as services and is subject to the light-touch regime. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the service scope specifically identified as the BNSSG area.

The process has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 25 August 2026 at 13:00, and tender responses were due by 7 September 2026 at 13:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 28 February 2031. The estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding tax and £2,400,000 including tax. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality, 10% social value and 30% financial. Electronic submission is allowed in English, using the MultiQuote platform. The planned award decision date is 1 March 2027.

This opportunity suits specialist child and adolescent mental health providers with the clinical infrastructure, qualified staff and operational capacity to run Tier 4 inpatient beds and deliver associated hospital and community services. Relevant psychiatric hospital and wider CAMHS experience will be central to demonstrating quality, which carries the greatest evaluation weighting. Suppliers should also be able to show how they will create social value alongside safe, effective service delivery, and provide a credible financial offer. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may compete directly or participate through an appropriate delivery model. The potential multi-year term may support sustained service capacity and workforce planning.
