NHS2290- Help to Wellbeing Service 25-26

The procurement process involves the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, which is considering awarding a contract for the "NHS2290- Help to Wellbeing Service 25-26" under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This falls under the community health services category, specifically in the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly region. The tender process is in the award stage, with a standstill period ending on 18 March 2025.

The contract was not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015; instead, it utilises a limited procurement method to potentially award the ongoing contract to an existing provider, with the contract intended to run from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, valued at £286,403. Despite being an intention to award notice, the award has been classified as unsuccessful. This tender offers an opportunity for growth within the health services sector, particularly for organisations specialising in welfare and coaching services.

Companies that provide expertise in professional wellbeing coaching, aimed at setting personal goals and self-management support for community members, are well-positioned to align with the needs articulated by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. As the process involves direct negotiation due to an existing provider regime, it favours businesses with a proven track record in this sector seeking to expand their footprint in regional health services. Being prepared for future opportunities, where similar procurement approaches may be used, could benefit service providers aiming to establish or grow collaborations with regional health authorities.
