Summary of the contracting process

North East London NHS Foundation Trust seeks a provider to run an adult mental health crisis house service in Waltham Forest. It will offer short-term, recovery-focused residential support as an alternative to hospital admission for people experiencing an acute mental health crisis. The service is intended to support crisis stabilisation, recovery and reintegration into the community, with peer support and a programme of activities. Provider staff are expected to have lived experience of mental health issues and to bring that experience into the support they deliver. The requirement is for community mental health services, delivered in the Waltham Forest area.

The buyer invited offers through the Provider Selection Regime’s Most Suitable Provider process. The intended award is subject to internal governance and approval, and the decision-makers were the Trust’s senior managers. The process is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023; the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. The procurement is presented as a single lot. The information sets out no submission or enquiry deadline, contract period, estimated value or evaluation criteria beyond selection through the Most Suitable Provider process. A future notice was anticipated for 1 December 2026.

This opportunity is suited to providers able to operate a residential crisis service for adults with acute mental health needs, offering a credible alternative to hospital admission and supporting recovery and return to community life. Relevant capability includes delivering short-term residential care, stabilising people in crisis, planning recovery-focused support and providing a structured programme of activities. The service specifically calls for peer support from staff with lived experience of mental health issues, so providers need to be able to recruit and support staff who can contribute that perspective as part of care delivery. The work is focused on Waltham Forest; providers need a model capable of serving adults in that local area. The stated purpose and staffing approach indicate a service combining practical crisis support with lived-experience-led engagement.
