## Summary

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has initiated a procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) to improve young people's mental health services in Bradford and Craven. The project, titled "Health Mind Apprentices", falls under the community health services industry category, and aims to support local youth with experience in mental health issues. The procurement process is at the award stage, with a contract awarded to All Star Entertainments Limited, commencing on 1 April 2026 and concluding on 31 March 2029. The contract, valued at £451,938, adheres to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, exempting it from the typical public contract regulations. Representations were previously required by 26 March 2026, marking the end of the Standstill Period.

The "Health Mind Apprentices" project creates growth opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, especially those equipped to handle contracts under direct award procedures. Providers within the Bradford area, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are well-positioned to leverage local partnerships and expertise in mental health services. This initiative supports sector-driven development by engaging youth and fostering collaborative improvements within the mental health sector. As demonstrated by the existing provider, businesses able to offer quality service at a competitive cost will stand a favourable chance in similar procurements, potentially enhancing regional influence and business scalability.
