Summary, notice description and lot information
NHS England has awarded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for the specialised commissioning of Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism Services (MHLDA) in the East of England. The contracts include four service lots: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Adult Inpatient Services, Adult Community Services, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Tier 4 General Adolescent Services, and Low Secure Learning Disability and Autism Services. The procurement process was conducted via direct award due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, and the initial contract term is from 1 April 2025 for 5 years, with options to extend for an additional 2 years, indicating a strategic collaboration in the health services sector.
The London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and additional UK regions are specific locations involved in delivering these services. This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses specialised in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in mental health, learning disabilities, and autism care. Organisations like Priory Healthcare Limited and Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, among others, are well-suited to provide the necessary specialised care due to their established capabilities and existing provider status favoured in the direct award process.
The contracts present growth prospects for entities that can meet the technical requirements and deliver comprehensive and integrated care solutions, contributing to evolving mental health service provisions across designated regions in the UK.
