Summary of the contracting process

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust sought a supplier to provide Tier 4 inpatient beds and associated services for children and young people’s mental health (CAMHS) in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area. The requirement covers psychiatric hospital care and related community health services. The Trust is the buying organisation. The service is intended for delivery in the BNSSG area; the procurement also lists the delivery country as the United Kingdom.

The Trust invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00. The estimated contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, to a maximum end date of 28 February 2031. The estimated value is £4 million excluding VAT (£4.8 million including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% on quality, 30% on price and 10% on social value. An award decision was due by 1 March 2027.

This opportunity is suited to providers able to deliver specialist inpatient mental health beds for children and young people, together with the associated services required in the BNSSG area. The requirement is also relevant to suppliers offering related psychiatric hospital and community health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable bidders. Quality carries the greatest evaluation weight, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate the standard and suitability of their clinical services, alongside a credible approach to social value and competitive pricing. The single-lot requirement calls for a provider able to deliver the service as a whole; suppliers with the relevant specialist service capability are best placed to assess whether they can meet the requirement.
