## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the NHS Central East Integrated Care Board, entails the awarding of a contract as part of a Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract revolves around delivering psychological therapy support and counselling services in British Sign Language (BSL) within the Health services industry category. The process, currently in the 'Award' stage, was recommended for approval on 16 January 2025, with the ICB Board backing this decision. The contract, although not formally awarded yet, marks the beginning of the standstill period, during which representations must be made by 6 May 2026. The service will be provided in regions identified as UKH11 and UKH12, covering the area previously known as Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in health services, particularly those proficient in offering psychological support in BSL. The contract is intended to be awarded directly to SignHealth, an existing provider, via a limited procurement method, eliminating prior competition publication, and the service is expected to span three years from April 2026 to March 2029. Companies capable of performing repeat services may find lucrative prospects here under strict regulations stated in the directive. Such businesses can leverage the anticipated annual value of approximately £51,205, with the possibility of extending the contract for a further two years.
