## Summary

The procurement process for the "Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service – East Lancashire (CYPMHS)" was recently awarded by the regional authority, Blackburn with Darwen. The service falls under the miscellaneous health services category and is located in East Lancashire, UKD41. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the contract actively signed on 9 January 2026 valued at £431,735. The procurement method was limited, involving an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it was outside the scope of the typical procurement directive due to adherence to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The official award will be completed following a standstill period that concludes on 21 January 2026. The main contracted supplier is Lancashire South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunity for entities experienced in providing mental health services tailored to young people affected by adverse childhood experiences and trauma. Organizations that specialise in delivering trauma-informed care and services with a child-first approach will find themselves well-suited to contribute to the service's goals. Although this specific contract was awarded to a large-scale NHS Trust, businesses positioning themselves as potential subcontractors or partners with strong capabilities in the health services sector can benefit from similar future tenders and collaborations, keeping in view the emphasis on quality and the possibility of contract extensions based on service delivery and financial viability.
