## Summary

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for Behavioural Intensive Community Support (BICS) services. This service targets children and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, and Bassetlaw. As of early July 2026, the procurement is in the award stage, with a standstill period lasting until midnight on 15 July 2026. The services are to be delivered from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The intention is to award the contract to Positive Support Group Limited (PSG) following a direct award process outside the scope of typical competitive procurement, carrying a total estimated contract value of £938,620.

This tender is designed to enhance local capacity for health services specifically tailored to youth with specialised needs, presenting business growth opportunities for organisations proficient in health services and community support. Large companies, particularly those experienced in direct award procedures and currently providing satisfactory service levels, are ideally positioned to leverage this contract for further expansion. As the procurement method does not require prior publication of a call for competition, businesses already aligned with local ICBs and similar service provision can efficiently step into this role, offering stability and assured quality to this crucial sector.
