Work-related trauma support

" This initiative is in collaboration with the Greater Manchester Police and is classified under the health services industry. The procurement was executed using a direct method, specifically below threshold and without competition, as per the GMP Contract Standing Orders, with a specific focus on the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 9th December 2025, with services commencing immediately and set to conclude by 31st March 2026, unless the contract's value, capped at £74,400, is exhausted sooner.

The geographical focus is within the UKD3 region, with the buyer's office located in Manchester. This contract offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs similar to Nightingale Therapy, the awarded supplier. The service provision, focusing on health and trauma therapy, is aimed at organisations capable of delivering specialised therapy services promptly and efficiently.

Businesses in the health services sector that can deliver high-quality, targeted trauma support, ideally with prior experience in similar public sector contracts, would be particularly well-suited to compete for such opportunities in the future. This process highlights an example of how exceptional service delivery in health-related fields can secure significant government contracts.
