## Summary

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust commissioned child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) for delivery in Northamptonshire. The service is intended for children and young people who need mental health care, with placements determined by bed availability and clinical presentation. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust was selected to provide the service. The procurement concerns ongoing healthcare provision rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and is tied to an existing service and provider relationship.

The procurement has been awarded to Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust through a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior competition. The buyer assessed the existing provider against key criteria, citing no realistic alternative and the lack of meaningful patient choice. Quality and continuity considerations determined the selection; cost was not separately weighted. The award date is not published. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and is valued at £5,300,956.33. It covers a one-year service period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The process records one bid. The lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible providers would need to deliver child and adolescent mental health care in Northamptonshire and demonstrate that they can maintain a safe, continuous service for young people whose placements depend on clinical need and available beds. The award indicates that continuity with an established provider and confidence in its current performance were central to the buyer’s decision, while patient choice was constrained by the nature of the service. Suppliers would therefore need relevant NHS service experience, suitable clinical capacity and the ability to evidence performance against the buyer’s key criteria. This was a substantial, year-long service requirement delivered by a large NHS trust; providers would need the organisational scale and operational resilience to sustain that level of provision.

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust are awarding the contract named within this notice under the Direct Award A process which is outlined within the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

The contract which is the subject of this notice has not changed considerably when compared with the existing/previous contract delivered by the named provider. There is an existing service. There is no realistic alternative to the existing provider due to the nature of the health care services. Direct Award B would not apply, as patients do not have a choice of provider. Due to the nature of the health care services, patients are typically placed based on bed availability and clinical presentation, therefore there are limitations to patient choice.
