## Summary

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board, located in London, United Kingdom, has finalised the procurement process for the provision of "Talking Therapies". This service, classified under the psychiatrist or psychologist services category with CPV code 85121270, aims to offer counselling for individuals with mental health needs in multiple languages, ensuring cultural appropriateness. The contract, valued at £214,589, spans from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The procurement was conducted under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and has been awarded without a prior call for competition, confirming the decision on 7 April 2025.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those offering psychological and counselling services. While the contract has already been awarded to the existing provider, NAFSIYAT, the competitive landscape emphasizes the need for innovation, value for money, and service integration. Businesses with a focus on improving access and reducing health inequalities, while providing culturally competent services, can find opportunities for strategic partnerships or subcontracting to deliver similar public health contracts in the future.
