Mental Health, Learning Disability and Neurodiverse Services

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for the provision of Mental Health, Learning Disability, and Neurodiverse Services. This contract award, approved by the ICB Finance, Investment & Performance Committee, falls under the Health Care Services category but is outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, following the NHS Provider Selection Regime.

The award, valued at £1,133,789,888, was granted to the Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The services will be primarily located in the UKE4 region, encompassing Wakefield and its surroundings, with the contract period spanning from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2032. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, bypassing the need for prior publication, to address urgent requirements for mental health crisis and inpatient services.

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, as a large-scale supplier, exemplifies the type of organisation most suited for such significant and specialized service provision.
