The contract, valued at £130,000, runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. This award was executed under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, a process characterised by a direct award without prior publication due to specific regulatory scope considerations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health interventions, particularly those who can provide culturally tailored services. Companies with expertise in quality, innovation, and social value, as demonstrated by the contract's award criteria, would be well-suited to compete in this sector. The procurement method supports streamlined participation, bypassing extensive competition calls, thus offering an advantageous scenario for established providers familiar with local healthcare needs and committed to improving mental health outcomes. Moreover, businesses adept at integration, collaboration, and service sustainability may leverage this contract to establish or expand their footprint within the NHS framework, ultimately enhancing access to mental health services and reducing health inequalities.
