The project will be delivered in London, specifically the UKI31 region, by the current service provider, North London NHS Foundation Trust. The process is in the Award stage, and the contract will run for 33 months from 1st July 2026 to 31st March 2029, with a total contract value of £1,533,062.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in clinical psychology services, particularly those experienced in designing and developing perinatal mental health and parent-infant relationship programmes. Businesses that can provide quality and innovative health service solutions, focus on integration and collaboration, improve access, reduce health inequalities, and deliver social value would be well-positioned for similar opportunities in the sector.
