## Summary

Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust is leading a public procurement process to award a contract for "DHC DH1393 Specialised Eating Disorders (Adults)" services, classified under psychiatric hospital services. The procurement is being conducted through a selective method and utilises a restricted procedure above the threshold, with direct award Category C from the Provider Selection Regime. The contract is valued at £1,600,000 and runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The tender stage is currently active, with the procurement details published on 14th January 2026, and the tender period concludes on 31st January 2026. The service area includes the United Kingdom and various international locations.

This tender offers opportunities primarily for well-established companies in the healthcare services sector, specifically those with expertise in psychiatric treatment and experience in dealing with eating disorders. Although the procurement process is selective and uses a restricted procedure, it could benefit suppliers already approved or recognised by national health authorities due to the specific nature of the services required. The initiative provides significant engagement opportunities given its substantial contract value, although it may not be particularly suited for smaller enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to the project's complexity and financial scope.
