## Summary

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, acting as lead provider for adult eating disorder services across the East Midlands, commissioned specialist inpatient care for adults with eating disorders. The service is delivered in Leicestershire and must meet relevant national standards and service requirements. The provider operates under its own Care Quality Commission registration. Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s procurement department supported the collaborative arrangement, but Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust remains responsible for the procurement and resulting contract. The requirement is for a specialist healthcare service rather than general psychiatric provision: the supplier provides inpatient treatment for adults with eating disorders as part of the regional service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust. The contract value is £408,050. It was signed on 1 April 2026 and covers a fixed one-year period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust used a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime’s Most Suitable Provider process, without a prior call for competition. One bid was recorded. The award assessment gave 100% weight to quality and 0% to cost: it considered whether the existing provider was meeting the original contract and was likely to deliver the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The Trust said the service was substantially unchanged from the existing arrangement and there was no realistic alternative provider given the nature of the care and patient placements.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement from Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, this award shows that the buyer values continuity and proven delivery in adult eating disorder inpatient care. A credible provider would need an established specialist service for adults, the capacity to provide inpatient care across the East Midlands, and the ability to meet relevant national standards and service requirements. It would also need to operate under its own Care Quality Commission registration. The assessment favoured evidence that the incumbent was performing satisfactorily and could continue to meet the requirements; demonstrated service quality and reliable delivery would therefore be central to competing. This was a substantial, fixed-term specialist healthcare contract, awarded directly through the Provider Selection Regime rather than through an open competition.
