## Summary

The public procurement process pertains to the provision of physical activity services for patients with severe mental illness (SMI) in Buckinghamshire. Managed by the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, this contract falls under the 'Health and social work services' category. The procurement process followed a limited method due to its direct award type, described in the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, rather than under the Procurement Act. The process is at the award stage, with the intent to offer the contract to the existing supplier, Sport in Mind. This notice marks the start of the standstill period, effective from the 19th of March 2026, and includes a contract value of £37,922.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, especially those centred around mental health and physical activity interventions. With Sport in Mind as the supplier, the contract reflects an ongoing relationship with Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, which prioritised continuity in service provision by opting for a direct award procedure without prior competition. Businesses with innovative approaches to health service delivery or experience in similar fields may find avenues for future collaboration or partnership, especially if they showcase distinct competencies or innovations that align with the buyer's objectives. The involved parties are seeking services that address mental health needs comprehensively, generating growth opportunities for large-scale operations familiar with such public sector engagements.
