CIC High Intensity support Mental Health

The procurement process for the "CIC High Intensity support Mental Health" project was conducted by the Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, located in Bracknell, UK (region UKJ11). This contract falls under the services category and pertains to rehabilitation services aimed at complex mental health clients in East and West Berkshire. The procurement followed a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) due to regulations specified in the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The contract was officially awarded on 10th December 2025, with service provision set to commence on 1st February 2026 and end on 31st January 2027. The awarded contract is valued at £280,592 excluding VAT. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in rehabilitation and mental health services, particularly those with experience in providing intensive support to complex mental health clients.

The nature of the procurement favours organisations that can demonstrate proven quality, innovation, and the ability to integrate services effectively. As the contract was awarded through a direct award process, businesses with an existing, satisfactory service delivery track record with the buyer stand a competitive advantage. However, the emphasis on value, service sustainability, and social value provides avenues for SMEs and other organisations focusing on health inequalities and community welfare to position themselves in future procurement opportunities with similar requirements.
