## Summary

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust bought child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) for delivery in Northamptonshire. The service is intended for children and young people, with placements made according to bed availability and clinical presentation. Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust was selected to continue providing an existing service. The requirement is health service delivery rather than the supply of goods or construction work, and the procurement covers one service lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust through the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award A route, without a competition. The trust selected the existing provider following an assessment of key criteria, considering its performance and ability to meet the requirement; the service was not substantially changed from the previous contract. The stated evaluation gave 100% to the absence of a realistic alternative provider or patient choice, with cost scored at 0%. The award relates to a one-year service period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and is valued at £210,511.06. One bid was recorded.

For suppliers considering similar CAMHS work for Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, this award shows that continuity of an existing service can be decisive where the nature of care leaves no realistic alternative provider and patient choice is constrained. A credible provider would need to demonstrate relevant child and adolescent mental health service capability, reliable placement capacity, and the ability to respond to clinical presentation and bed availability. Evidence of strong current performance and confidence in meeting the service requirements were central to the buyer’s stated assessment. The procurement was made by direct award rather than open competition, so suppliers should recognise that this route was based on the existing provider and service continuity, not a contest in which price was the deciding factor. The requirement is for a substantial, ongoing health service in Northamptonshire.
