The tender, under reference C316974, is in an active state and seeks experienced providers capable of delivering services across two geographic lots. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with interested providers required to submit responses by 20th January 2025 at 12 noon. The contract will commence on 1st October 2025 and may extend up to 2032. This process is classified under the CPV code 85312500 for Rehabilitation services and will follow the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023 Competitive Process, explicitly excluding the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those capable of forming consortia or strategic partnerships to meet comprehensive service delivery requirements. The contract, valued at approximately £48.7 million over its potential seven-year duration, is open to SMEs and VCSEs, making it an attractive proposition for smaller enterprises and social enterprises looking to expand their footprint. By participating, suppliers can forge new business relationships and contribute to enhancing the mental health and well-being of the adult population in the South East UK region. The procurement emphasizes collaborative service delivery models, offering a strategic growth avenue for suitable providers. ## Notice Mental Health Support Services - Brighton and Hove / West Sussex - ITT The Commissioners (NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board and Brighton and Hove City Council) are seeking to appoint suitably experienced providers, to deliver Mental Health Support Services to the populations of Brighton and Hove and of West Sussex from 1st October 2025. The provision is divided into two Lots by geography: Lot a) Brighton and Hove Lot b) West Sussex. Providers may submit a bid response to one or both lots. The Commissioners will contract with a single legal entity for each Lot (one in Brighton and Hove and one in West Sussex), responsible for delivery of all required Mental Health Support Services in each area. Providers will decide and detail within their bid/s, how to structure themselves in order to ensure successful delivery of all required services. It is anticipated that organisations will join together to form business relationships in order to bid collectively as a single legal entity, for example, as a Lead Provider/Sub-Contractor model, a form of Alliance model with a Lead Member, a Consortium and so on. The NHS Standard Contracts will be for a period of 5 years with an option (of the commissioner) to extend for a period of up to a further 24 months (5+2). The combined annual value across the two lots is PS6,963,091.00, PS34,815,455.00 over the 5 year duration and PS48,741,637.00 should the full potential extension period be taken up. The aim of the Mental Health Support Services (MHSS) is to improve the mental health and wellbeing of the adult population in Brighton and Hove and West Sussex. This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Contract Notice, procured as a 'Mixed Procurement' through the Competitive Process, subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
