## Summary

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is procuring child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) for delivery in Northamptonshire. The requirement is described as provision of CAMHS services, with the existing service and provider arrangement continuing. This is healthcare service provision rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and is relevant to providers able to deliver specialist mental health care for children and young people in the county. The Trust is based in Kettering and is the buying organisation. The contract was awarded to Elysium Healthcare, the existing provider. The stated rationale refers to the nature of the services, placement based on bed availability and clinical presentation, and limited patient choice in selecting a provider.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Elysium Healthcare through a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without prior publication of a competition. The Trust says the provider was assessed against key criteria, that its performance was satisfactory and it was reasonably expected to meet the requirement, and that the service had not changed considerably from the previous contract. The award date is not stated. The one-year service period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and has a value of £1,123,079.12. The recorded evaluation basis says there was no realistic alternative provider or patient choice; the accompanying cost criterion carries 0 weight. One bid was recorded.

For providers assessing future demand from this Trust, the award indicates a requirement for established CAMHS provision in Northamptonshire, delivered as a continuation of an existing service. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate specialist capacity to meet children’s and young people’s mental health needs, including the ability to manage placements according to bed availability and clinical presentation. The Trust’s rationale makes continuity, current service performance and confidence in the provider’s ability to deliver central considerations. Providers would therefore need evidence of dependable clinical delivery and sufficient suitable bed capacity, as well as a strong record under the existing service model. The direct-award route used here reflects the Trust’s view that there was no realistic alternative provider and patients had limited choice, rather than a competitive comparison of bids.
