Urgent Award - Neuropsychiatry Inpatient Placement for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Patient
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
NHS South West London Integrated Care Board has completed an urgent procurement process for a neuropsychiatry inpatient placement for a patient with acquired brain injury. This contract, valued at £326,648.92, was awarded to St Andrew's Healthcare under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the standard competitive process due to urgent circumstances. This specific procurement, classified under psychiatric hospital services, lasted from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2026.
The procurement followed a limited method due to its exemption from the Procurement Act Regulations and was intended to address immediate safety and care quality risks in the UKI region. This tender presents an opportunity for large healthcare providers with specialist neuropsychiatric and acquired brain injury facilities to position themselves as key suppliers in urgent healthcare service contracts. The process serves as an example of how adeptly navigating provider selection regulations can benefit organisations with the flexibility and capabilities to meet highly specific and pressing healthcare needs.
Additionally, public health bodies can benefit from establishing robust partnerships with specialist providers to ensure readiness for future urgent procurement needs.
An Urgent Award has been made for a Neuropsychiatric Inpatient Placement for an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) patient. Delaying the award to conduct a full application of the PSR would be likely to pose a risk to patient or public safety.
The patient has an ABI and is detained under the Mental Health Act and this unit is a specialist neuropsychiatric & ABI service which can manage the patient's condition, and this was the only suitable provider that would accept this referral and neurology and psychiatry consultants agreed it was the most appropriate provider. This contract will be for 12-months from 1st May 2025 - 30th April 2026. The total value of this contract will be PS326,648.92. Additional information: This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act Regulations 2023 do not apply to this award. Award Decision makers: NHS South West London Integrated Care Board - Contracting and Procurement Group No conflicts of interest were declared.
