## Summary

The public procurement contracting process involves the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, which has completed an award procedure under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The process does not fall within the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract has been awarded to Cygnet Health Care Limited for providing specialised Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Inpatient Services in Cheshire and Merseyside. The sub-contract commenced on 1 April 2024 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2026, with a contractual value of £1,116,430. Locations covered include multiple regions across the UK, such as UKC, UKD, and UKG, with the core industry category being health services. This award followed a direct award method due to the existing service provision and lack of alternative providers, thus bypassing a public call for competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, specifically those specialising in mental health care for children and adolescents. Companies experienced in psychiatric intensive care and low secure inpatient services might find this tender particularly beneficial to expand their operations. Although the procurement utilised a limited procurement method, it emphasises the potential growth in the sector by providing services paid on a cost-per-case basis, allowing flexibility and potential for revenue scaling aligned with actual service delivery. Businesses equipped to deliver high-quality health services within the framework of this procurement are well-suited to compete for similar contracts, leveraging existing expertise and infrastructure in related areas. The tender's flexibility with options for contract extension indicates potential for long-term partnerships and business development.
