Summary of the contracting process

NHS South West London Integrated Care Board is seeking a lead provider to manage and deliver mental health support for children and young people across South West London. The service covers 25 operational and developing Mental Health Support Teams across the area’s six boroughs, providing prevention and early intervention through a consistent, equitable offer. The lead provider will be accountable for governance, management, mobilisation, service integration and delivery, including future teams required to expand coverage. The aim is to improve access to care, reduce health inequalities and achieve better outcomes for children and young people. This is a health service (CPV 85100000), delivered across South West London.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This is a single-lot contract, with bids submitted electronically through the Atamis portal. The submission deadline was 2 November 2026; evaluation was scheduled to start on 3 November 2026 at 07:00 UTC. Quality accounts for 90% of the evaluation and price for 10%. The stated contract value is £89,916,960 excluding VAT. The initial term runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with three possible one-year extensions at the Authority’s discretion, giving a maximum term to 31 March 2033. Bids must be submitted in English; variants are not allowed.

This opportunity is suited to an established health or mental health service provider able to take lead-provider accountability across a complex, multi-borough service. The successful organisation will need the capacity and experience to govern and manage 25 operational and developing teams, mobilise services, integrate teams and deliver consistent prevention and early-intervention support for children and young people. It must also be able to support the planned expansion towards full Mental Health Support Team coverage across South West London by December 2029. The service requires coordination across six boroughs and the ability to focus on equitable access, reducing health inequalities and improving outcomes. Quality is the dominant evaluation consideration, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the strength of their service delivery approach.
