About

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board is seeking a supplier for provision of NHS Talking Therapies (NHS TT) and Psychological Therapies for Severe Mental Health Problems (PT SMHP) services through a competitive procurement under Regulation 11 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The Authority intends to award a single contract to one legal entity based on the NHS Standard Contract 2026/27 for the period 01 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend up to 24 months to 31 March 2032. The maximum financial envelope for the three-year term is £94,118,443, with a maximum total value of £156,223,810 if the extension is used, and up to £203,000,000 allowed for potential contract modifications as advertised on the Find a Tender Service. Full service requirements, award and selection criteria are set out in the procurement documentation and Document 3 - Service Specification, available free via the e-procurement portal at https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/ under Contract Reference: C443109; supplier support is available at https://suppliersupport.atamis.co.uk/hc/en-gb/sections/4612344115359. Respondents should note the contract will follow the NHS Standard Contract 2026/27 and the Authority is not responsible for bidders' costs in preparing submissions.

Insight

This could be valuable for organisations able to deliver both NHS Talking Therapies and PT SMHP services directly at scale as a single legal entity. Key considerations include meeting the procurement's selection and award criteria, committing to a multi-year contract governed by the NHS Standard Contract 2026/27, managing the financial and operational scale of the contract and potential in-term modifications, and bearing your own bid preparation costs.
