## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has announced its intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for eating disorder support services for children and young people. The contract, titled "PSR/CMH046 Eating Disorder Support Services," falls within the community health services category. The planned service will be based in Taunton, Somerset, with key activities located at Musgrove Park Hospital. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with representations to be made by 30 December 2024. The contract period will commence on 1 January 2025 and conclude on 31 December 2028, with an optional 12-month extension, bringing the total potential contract value to £225,000 including the extension.

This tender provides business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in supporting vulnerable young people with eating disorders. The awarded provider will be required to integrate seamlessly with the Trust's CAMHS teams, focusing on quality and collaboration. With Somerset and Wessex Eating Disorders Association (SWEDA) as the incumbent and designated provider, experienced in the field, other businesses with similar expertise and a strong local presence may also be well-suited to participate in similar future opportunities under the PSR. The procurement method used is a limited process, aligning with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, highlighting the emphasis on quality, value, and social impact in service provision.
