Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South West London Integrated Care Board is arranging specialist inpatient mental health care for two people with complex mental health and associated needs. The service continues existing placements: one at Cygnet Hospital Harrow and one at Cygnet Mansfield/Sherwood. Work covers multidisciplinary assessment, treatment, care, risk management and rehabilitation tailored to each person’s assessed needs. It is intended to maintain continuity while their need for inpatient care and options for progression, step-down and discharge are reviewed. This is specialist hospital and residential health and social care, rather than a general hospital service. Delivery is across the two named Cygnet services; the notice identifies the wider delivery area as London.

The process is recorded as complete, but the published description says this is an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime and that the contract has not yet formally been awarded. Cygnet Healthcare is the selected provider for both placements. The stated contract value is £414,103 for a one-year term running from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027; the contract is recorded as signed on 28 September 2026. The route is a direct award without prior competition, described as direct award process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Evaluation criteria are access, reducing health inequalities and choice (30%), quality and innovation (20%), integration, collaboration and service sustainability (20%), social value (10%) and price (20%). The intention-to-award standstill allowed representations until 12 October 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the ICB for continuity of highly specialised inpatient mental health provision for people with complex needs, including multidisciplinary assessment, treatment, risk management and rehabilitation, with ongoing consideration of step-down and discharge. A credible provider for a comparable future requirement would need suitable inpatient facilities and the clinical capacity to deliver individualised care across these functions, while coordinating care pathways and supporting progression beyond hospital where appropriate. The assessment placed substantial weight on access, reducing health inequalities and patient choice, as well as quality, innovation, integration, collaboration, service sustainability and social value; price also formed part of the evaluation. The chosen route was a Provider Selection Regime direct award to the existing provider, so an established care relationship and the ability to sustain safe continuity were relevant to this particular requirement.
