## Summary

The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health & Care NHS Trust is in the process of awarding a contract for the provision of Employment Advisors in the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services in Worcestershire. Classified under miscellaneous health services, the contract has been handled under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), bypassing the typical procurement regulations, as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The intent to award notice was released on 26th November 2025, with a standstill period lasting until midnight on 8th December 2025. The procurement method employed was limited, using a direct award approach without prior publication, focused on ensuring quality and efficiency.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in health service provision, particularly those with experience or capability in delivering psychological and employment advisory services. Potential suppliers with a focus on quality, social value, and cost-effectiveness would find this contract particularly aligned with their strengths. The ongoing contract with Mental Health Matters highlights the incumbent advantage, however, organisations with innovative approaches in health service integration and reducing inequalities may find avenues for collaboration or future bidding opportunities.
