Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has modified a contract for acute mental health inpatient care services at The Priory, additional short-term capacity in Sussex, under the Provider Selection Regime. This modification extends the contract from April 13, 2025, to October 10, 2025, with a revised value of £2,452,214.02. The procurement falls under the health services category, specifically psychiatric hospital services, and residential health facilities services, with services being provided within the UKJ2 region.

Key decision-makers include the CFO, COO, and Contracts Director at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, ensuring no conflicts of interest were declared. This extension provides a sustained opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly psychiatric and residential health facilities, to collaborate with the NHS and bolster their presence in the Sussex region. It offers an advantageous growth prospect for established providers with capabilities to integrate seamlessly within local community services and meet specific requirements, including all-gender services on the same site.

Interested businesses should have a robust infrastructure to support the extended contract period and contribute significantly to enhancing local mental health service delivery.
