## Summary

The public procurement process led by NHS Highland, located in Inverness, focuses on the provision of Distress Brief Intervention (DBI) services, under the title "HH242-24-TW21 Provision of DBI Services".

The procurement method employed is limited, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons. Key documents relating to this contract update were published as of 10th October 2025. The procurement stage is the Award stage, with the contract already being active since 1st April 2024 and signed on 17th January 2025, indicating a follow-up to previous planning stages captured in contract notices.

This opportunity is markedly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises in the healthcare services industry, particularly those with an emphasis on mental health services. Change Mental Health, an SME supplier based in Edinburgh, exemplifies a successful bidder in this process, showcasing the potential growth and expansion opportunities for similar businesses keen on providing specialized health interventions. The absence of competitive bids from other SMEs highlights an open space for providers with tailored expertise in delivering DBI services in the geographic scope defined by NHS Highland. The coordinated procurement environment provides opportunities for businesses capable of addressing specific technical requirements and regional service needs.
