This procurement, focusing on services in the mental health sector, aims to maintain high-quality care by allowing Alliance Psychological Services Limited to continue its trusted care in the regions of South Tees and North Tees. The contract, involving a direct award, spans three years with two additional optional years, slated to begin on 1st July 2025. The overall value of this award is £1,150,000.

Businesses that can provide high-quality mental health care, maintain strong patient relationships, and work within established NHS estates will find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities.

The direct award process, focusing on a single trusted provider model, encourages seamless and uninterrupted service delivery, fostering long-term partnerships and development within the mental health care framework.

## Notice

The supplier is currently supporting both South Tees (STH) and North Tees (NTH), the
subject of mental health and associated pathways are extremely contentious. The BACP
guidelines indicate to transfer care of patients to a new provider once treatment has
commenced is likely to cause harm to the patients. The provider has a trusted relationship
with both trust providing high quality mental health care, the supplier is able to deliver the
services required within the estate already allocated to the OH service enabling our
workforce to receive the care they need locally causing the least disruption to both patient
care and trust services. Providing a single service to the group model is an underpinning
aspect of the people plan and more. Given the sickness absence rate related to mental
health is continually in the top 3 sickness reasons, it is essential we maintain a high-quality
accessible service, while also using the opportunity to enhance our service offer to the
workforce. The overarching goal is to implement a single service across both trusts whilst
with the incumbent provider of the services.
This award will be for a 3 year term, with two optional additional years. The estimated start
date for the contract will be 1st July 2025.
