## Summary

Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is overseeing the procurement process titled "Safety Planning Outreach Work," classified under the miscellaneous health services category (CPV: 85140000). This service is situated in Bracknell, South East England (UKJ11). The procurement stage is at the award stage, with key deadlines marked by a standstill period where representations must be made by providers by 24th March 2025. The contract is set to commence on 26th March 2025 and continue until 25th March 2026, with an estimated value of £83,983.40 excluding VAT. The procurement method chosen is a limited, direct award procedure under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations 2023, and does not fall under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those with expertise in suicide prevention and community support integration. Ideal candidates are providers capable of delivering quality, innovative care that facilitates choice, reduces health inequalities, and supports sustainability and social value. As the initial assessment reveals an existing provider, Bucks Mind, meeting these criteria, new businesses should demonstrate how they can similarly excel in these areas to compete effectively. This contract is also particularly suitable for SMEs operating in the South East England region and those focusing on mental health and suicide prevention support services.
