## Summary

Newcastle City Council, as the buying organisation, has overseen the completion of a contracting process titled "Little Minds in Mind" within the health and social work services industry category. This initiative aims to provide specialised intervention services for parents dealing with mild to moderate perinatal mental health difficulties and bonding issues, alongside training for the wider workforce in Infant Mental Health. The contract, valued at £786,041.67, falls under a service procurement category and has been facilitated through a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The announcement of the intention to award was made on 10th June 2026, and it marks the beginning of the standstill period. This project is set in Newcastle Upon Tyne (region UKC22) and complies with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health service provision, particularly those focusing on mental health and perinatal support services. Companies that excel in delivering high-quality, innovative healthcare solutions, emphasising integration, social value, and reducing health inequalities, are likely to benefit from engaging with such public procurement opportunities. The procurement process utilises a direct award, favouring suppliers already meeting robust service standards, like Children North East, the identified supplier in this case. Businesses that can demonstrate similar capabilities and compliance with PSR criteria could forge ongoing partnerships with local authorities, leading to sustainable business growth within the public healthcare sector.
