## Summary

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust commissioned child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in Northamptonshire. The requirement is for the provision of healthcare services for children and young people; the procurement description does not set out specific service activities or clinical provision. The Trust is the buyer, and delivery is in Northamptonshire. The named provider, Arcadia Care No1 Ltd, was identified as an existing provider of the service. The procurement rationale says the service already exists and that the contract was not considerably changed from the previous arrangement. It also states that patients are typically placed according to bed availability and clinical presentation, limiting their choice of provider.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Arcadia Care No1 Ltd through a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime, without a prior competition. The Trust says it assessed the existing provider against key criteria, including performance and its reasonable expectation that the provider could meet the contract. The award criteria record no realistic alternative provider or patient choice as the basis for selection. The contract covers one year, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £656,141.17. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026. The tender lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active; the process description says the notice serves to award the contract.

For suppliers of child and adolescent mental health services, this award shows that Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust buys an established local service and may use a direct award where it considers there is no realistic alternative provider and patients have limited choice. The provider selected was already delivering the service, and the Trust relied on its assessment of performance and ability to meet the requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would therefore need evidence of strong delivery in CAMHS, dependable ongoing service provision and the ability to meet clinical needs while managing capacity and placement according to bed availability. Demonstrable performance against the Trust’s key criteria would be important. This is a substantial, year-long service contract, rather than a purchase of standalone goods or one-off consultancy.
