Mental Health Support Teams Croydon

The NHS South West London Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Mental Health Support Teams in Croydon, categorised under health services. This contract falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per Health Care Services Regulations 2023, marking a departure from the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement was conducted through a direct award process, and the contract, valued approximately at £1,384,588 excluding VAT, commenced on 1 April 2025 and is set to conclude by 31 March 2026.

The process confirmed the award on 7 April 2025, and involved integration, collaboration, and service sustainability as major criteria for selection to enhance service delivery in the UKI region, specifically focusing on schools in Croydon. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth particularly for large organisations experienced in providing health services, especially those aiming for contracts that require the integration of services in educational settings. The direct award approach suggests a preference for established relationships and proven capabilities, enabling businesses like 'Off The Record', already familiar with local health needs, to participate effectively.

Companies proficient in meeting key criteria like quality, innovation, and social value, especially in reducing health inequalities and improving access, stand to gain through such public procurement processes.
