This project falls under the category of Health and social work services and is procured as part of its Provider Selection Regime (PSR), specifically utilising a direct award process without a call for competition under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at £180,000, was awarded on 12 March 2025, with a term running from 01 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.
Located in Liverpool, Merseyside, this procurement's industry category highlights the ongoing commitment to improving mental health services for the youth within the region. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses operating within the health and social services sector, particularly those with expertise in delivering CBT and counselling services. As contracted with Think Therapy, an SME, the process underscores the advantage existing providers have when maintaining quality and consistent delivery standards.
Businesses with a similar focus on mental health services for young people might find increasing openings to leverage such contracts to expand their operational footprint in the public sector. Firms seeking to collaborate with public authorities like the Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, known for its extensive network in the Merseyside region, will benefit from exploring similar future opportunities.
