Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board has announced an intention to award a contract for the "BLMK ICB Crisis Café & Peer Support Service" under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract pertains to health services, providing crisis café and peer support for adults with mental health needs in Milton Keynes. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the standstill period allowing for written representations by 11th September 2025.
The NHS Executives approved this award on 13th August 2025, aimed at an existing provider, Mind BLMK, with a contract value approximating £681,600 for the period between 1st April 2026 and 31st March 2028. This limited procurement method involved a direct award process, exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents opportunities for growth, particularly for enterprises experienced in mental health services and crisis support.
Naturally, businesses specialising in health services, small to medium enterprises (SMEs), and those already established in mental health and peer support services could find this contract advantageous. The focus on Milton Keynes allows regionally-based businesses to leverage local expertise and connections. The situation may also be favourable for companies capable of working within the specific regulatory framework of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
Potential competitors should note that Mind BLMK has been deemed satisfactorily fulfilling the criteria of an existing contract.
