Suicide Bereavement Service - NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has formally awarded a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for the West Yorkshire Suicide Bereavement Service, a health service initiative aimed at offering peer-led support to individuals bereaved by suicide across the region. The contract, valued at £602,481.50, covers the period from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2027, and follows a limited procurement method without a prior publication of a competition call. The award was made to Leeds Mind, reinforcing the organisation's longstanding contribution in this vital service area.

The project falls within the health services category, with Wakefield, UK, serving as the main procurement location. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those with expertise in mental health support and community-based initiatives. Organisations with the capability to deliver high-quality, compassionate peer support services could find similar opportunities for collaboration with NHS boards under such regimes.

Furthermore, businesses seeking to expand their footprint in healthcare service delivery, particularly those attuned to innovative and supportive care models, would find this sector ripe for growth and partnership. Engaging in contracts of this nature can strengthen a firm’s position as a key player in community-focused health interventions.
