NLFT Voluntary and Community Sector Services

The North London Foundation Trust is planning a procurement process for the "NLFT Voluntary and Community Sector Services" initiative. This initiative falls within the community health services industry category, with targeted delivery in several regions around London, including UKI31, UKI43, UKI54, and UKI71. Currently in the planning stage, the tender seeks to enhance mental and physical health support for adults with severe mental illness through community-based initiatives.

A crucial date for interested suppliers is the pre-market engagement session scheduled for 3rd December 2025. Suppliers must be registered on the Atamis e-Tendering Portal and the Central Digital Platform to participate. The contract is expected to commence on 6th March 2026 and conclude on 5th March 2028.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for innovation-driven Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in community health services. The Trust encourages suppliers to articulate their vision for delivering exemplary services in line with evolving community care priorities. The process supports collaboration between the primary and secondary health systems, aiming for integrated care models.

Such an opportunity is ideal for businesses keen on contributing to mental health support, particularly those with expertise in working collaboratively with different health agencies to foster inclusive community environments. The initiative not only aids in business growth but also promotes societal contributions through enhanced community health frameworks.
