## Summary

The Solent NHS Trust has awarded a contract to Solent Mind for the provision of the Portsmouth Community Adult Mental Health Support and Recovery Service. The procurement process was a limited tender with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at 627,600 GBP, was signed on 1st May 2023. The trust decided to extend the contract by 12 months due to delays in service transformation and increased demand. The award provides continuity to support mental health recovery in Portsmouth.

This contract extension presents an opportunity for businesses providing mental health support services to engage with the Solent NHS Trust. Companies offering health services, community health services, and miscellaneous health services would find this tender relevant. The procurement process was completed under Regulation 32(9) for repeated services to complete transformation work. Businesses with experience in delivering mental health recovery services and a focus on person-centred care would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts with the trust.

## Notice

A VEAT notice was published for this service in 2021, 2021/S 000-026708

This notice is to award a further 12 month extension to the contract to the current provider, Solent Mind, for the provision of Mental Health Recovery Teams. The full transformation of the Services delivered has been delayed and there has been an increase in demand for this service. It is not an appropriate time or environment to potentially switch provider as that could de-stabilise the current provision when the AMH long term plan and Mental Health Standards are being implemented. This short term extension will provide opportunity for the Local Authority and ICS partners to confirm sourcing intentions and timetable following completion of the transformation programme.
