Summary of the contracting process

The Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning stage of a procurement process aimed at appointing an external provider for children's mental health services delivered via an online platform. This initiative falls under the Provider Selection Regime and is classified under the community health services industry category. The procurement is currently in the pre-market engagement phase, where potential suppliers are invited to review and comment on the draft specification by 6th October 2025.

The services will be delivered in the United Kingdom's UKE3 region, with the contract period tentatively spanning from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2028, with a possible extension until 2030.

The contract value is substantial, with an estimated gross amount of £360,000. It is well-suited for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), offering a substantial opportunity to expand their service offerings and gain a foothold in the public healthcare sector. Furthermore, the pre-market engagement process invites constructive feedback, allowing potential bidders to influence the final procurement conditions and align their capabilities with the Trust’s needs.
