## Summary

North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust commissioned mental health and wellbeing sessions from Rugby League Cares. The service falls within personal development training services (CPV 80570000) and is intended to support mental health and wellbeing through structured sessions. The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust, based in Warrington. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot. Rugby League Cares is the selected provider and is a voluntary, community or social enterprise. This opportunity is relevant to organisations delivering wellbeing, mental health support, personal development or related training services across multiple English regions for NHS or other public-sector clients.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. Rugby League Cares received the award on 26 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £33,800 excluding VAT and £40,560 including VAT, stated as the total annual value. The award covers one completed lot and the award value is recorded against that lot. The published evaluation outcome is the selection of Rugby League Cares; no separate quality, price or weighting criteria are recorded for this direct award. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This procurement demonstrates demand from North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust for organised mental health and wellbeing sessions delivered as personal development training. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in wellbeing support, mental health-focused session delivery and personal development training, with the ability to serve NHS users and operate across a broad English geography. Rugby League Cares’ status as a voluntary, community or social enterprise indicates that community benefit and a mission-led delivery model may be relevant to how this requirement is fulfilled. Organisations with established public-sector delivery arrangements, suitable safeguarding and wellbeing expertise, and the operational capacity to provide consistent sessions across several regions would be better placed to compete if the Trust revisits this requirement.
