Priory Group Limited CAMHS Tier 4 RP1- NTN 24/26 V0.1

The Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has confirmed the contract award to Priory Group Limited for CAMHS Tier 4 services, categorized under psychiatric hospital services. This procurement process, under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, commenced formally on 24th February 2025. 04, is set to run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2026.

This direct award was necessitated due to the lack of realistic alternatives for these specialised health services, which are provided based on bed availability and clinical presentation. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition call, reflecting the specific needs and constraints of this service area. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the healthcare services sector, particularly those capable of delivering Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

Companies with established service delivery frameworks and experience in specialised psychiatric services are ideally positioned to benefit. The direct award underscores the importance of reliable, high-quality service provision in this critical healthcare domain and aligns with the strategic objectives of the Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to secure seamless and continuous care for the patient population.
