Summary of the contracting process

NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board commissioned community, mental health and children’s and young people’s secondary care services, provided by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust. The service scope includes community nursing, mental health crisis support, child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and speech and language therapy. This is an integrated healthcare services requirement covering Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The Trust provides mental health and community services for the area, with the commissioned provision spanning care for children and young people as well as community and mental health needs. The work falls within the broad category of health services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust. It followed Direct Award Process A under the Provider Selection Regime, without a prior call for competition; the buyer described the service as an existing provision delivered by an existing provider. The stated basis was that there was no realistic alternative provider. The contract covers 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with an awarded value of £358,004,620. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026. One bid was recorded. The procurement’s lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the award information identifies the Trust as the selected supplier.

For providers considering comparable future community and mental health provision for this Integrated Care Board, this award shows demand for a broad, joined-up service spanning community nursing, crisis response, CAMHS, rehabilitation, physiotherapy and speech and language therapy across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. A credible competitor would need the capacity and clinical breadth to deliver these services across the area, including support for children and young people as well as adult community and mental health needs. The selected provider was an established NHS Trust already delivering the service, and the buyer’s stated rationale was that there was no realistic alternative provider. This points to the importance of demonstrating continuity, existing local delivery capability and the ability to sustain a large, multi-service healthcare contract under the Provider Selection Regime route.
