## Summary

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT), the 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 Leicester. The provider is required to deliver care in line with relevant national standards and service requirements, and to hold its own Care Quality Commission registration. Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s procurement department worked jointly with LPT and published the procurement on LPT’s behalf; LPT remains responsible for the process and contract. This is a specialist healthcare service rather than a general mental health or hospital services requirement, with inpatient provision at its centre.

The procurement is complete and Riverdale Grange Limited was selected as the provider. The contract is active and was signed on 1 April 2026, for a fixed one-year term running from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £714,546.96. LPT used the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award A, a direct award without a competition. The trust’s rationale was that Riverdale Grange was the existing provider, the service had not changed substantially, and its performance and ability to meet the requirement had been assessed. The trust judged there was no realistic alternative provider and patients had limited choice. Evaluation recorded quality, including provider choice, as the basis; cost had no separate weighting. One bid was recorded.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from LPT, this award shows demand for a dedicated adult eating disorder inpatient service serving the East Midlands, delivered in Leicester. A credible provider would need to demonstrate specialist inpatient capability, capacity to accept patients according to bed availability and clinical presentation, and the ability to meet national standards and service requirements. The provider must operate under its own Care Quality Commission registration. LPT also assessed the incumbent’s performance and whether it could reasonably deliver the service, so evidence of strong performance and continuity in an established service is commercially relevant. The award was made through the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award A route on the basis that there was no realistic alternative and patients had limited choice; this was not a competitive quality-and-price contest.
