## Summary

NHS England has issued an intention to award notice under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the provision of Non-Custodial Services (East of England). This process involves the award of contracts for rehabilitation services across several regions, categorised into five lots. The awarded lots include Lot 1 (Cambridgeshire), Lot 2 (Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes), and Lot 3 (Hertfordshire), with contracts to commence on 1st April 2025 for an initial period of five years, extendable by two additional years. The total procurement value across all lots is approximately £61.4 million. Key deadlines include the standstill period ending on 13th September 2024. The procurement method employed is an open procedure under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the final award decisions were made by NHS England - East of England.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health and rehabilitation services to engage with public healthcare provision, particularly those operating in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Luton, Milton Keynes, and Hertfordshire. The competitive process evaluates providers based on key criteria like quality and innovation, value, integration, collaboration, and service sustainability, enabling businesses with robust service delivery models to secure long-term contracts. Large suppliers, such as the NHS Foundation Trusts, are ideally positioned to compete, given the preference for quality and value in service provision. Additionally, the abandonment of the contracts for Lots 4 and 5 indicates an existing unmet demand in regions like Essex, presenting further growth opportunities for capable providers.
