The process, categorised under health and social work services (CPV: 85000000), has made use of a limited procurement method via a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition. The services will primarily be delivered in Merseyside (UKD7 region), with the contract term set from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028, valued at £2,609,384. The contract, awarded to Barnardo's as the existing provider, was finalised on 26 February 2025 following a standstill period allowing representations by providers until 25 February 2025. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in delivering therapeutic support to children and young people. Companies seeking growth in public sector contracts will find this tender pertinent, as it underscores the potential for long-term partnerships with NHS entities, especially for providers familiar with the Provider Selection Regime. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a robust track record in health services, or those looking to leverage existing contracts with public health authorities, are well-suited to compete effectively in such procurement processes. ## Notice This service works closely with St Helens CYPMHS to provide a range of evidence based therapeutic and preventative services to children and young people. ### Lot Information Lot 1 MCFT intends to contract with Barnardo's, Leeds Support Office, Rockford House, Low Lane, Horsforth, Leeds, LS18 5QW.
