This tender offers significant opportunities for service providers specialising in mental health services, especially those capable of delivering comprehensive support including talking therapies, residential care, and community engagement. Ideal candidates include large-scale mental health organisations and providers with a proven track record in similar service delivery. Businesses awarded this contract stand to benefit from a multi-year engagement with a reputable public health organisation, ensuring stable and continuous service delivery.
Furthermore, the option to extend the contract by up to two additional years presents further growth and continuity opportunities within the community.
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
