Mental Health Services

The procurement process for the "Mental Health Services" contract, overseen by the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board, has been completed. This was conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 using a limited award procedure without prior publication. The contract, valued at £955,733,835, covers mental health services, focusing within the health services industry category.

The services will be provided from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030, across regions including UKF14, UKF15, and UKF16. The contract was awarded to Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, with a direct award process due to no viable alternative provider. This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing mental health and community forensic services.

Companies that can align with the Provider Selection Regime and offer high-quality health services without realistic alternative providers are well-positioned to benefit. The focus on a specialised sector with a substantial contract value caters to large-scale organisations capable of delivering comprehensive mental health services within the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire area. Such businesses, especially those with a presence or capability to operate in designated UKF regions, will find growth potential through collaboration and provision of these critical services.
