Opportunity overview
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 26 March 2025 to gail.bloxham@nhs.net. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
The award decision was approved by BSMHFT MHPC Commissioning Committee on 3 March 2025. No conflicts were declared. Key criteria were presented and the current provider is able to demonstrate that they have delivered under their previous contractual arrangement and BSMHFT is confident that this delivery will continue under a new contract.

RISKS AND UNKNOWNS
Points requiring attention
Not an open competitive tender
99% confidence
The record display status is "open", but the notice text describes a PSR intention to award using a limited procedure without prior publication and refers to provider representations rather than tender submissions.
View supporting evidence
Metadata states display status "open" and limited procedure; description states it is an "intention to award notice" and that the contract had not yet formally been awarded.
Date and notice-reference inconsistency
99% confidence
The stated representation deadline (26 March 2025) is earlier than the supplied publication timestamp (4 April 2025), while the source URL contains a 2026 notice reference and the source update timestamp is in 2026. The supplied evidence does not resolve these conflicting dates.
View supporting evidence
Description gives 26 March 2025 deadline; metadata gives published_at 2025-04-04 and source URL "Notice/096634-2026"; source_updated_at is 2026-10-13.
Commercial and scope detail unavailable
99% confidence
No contract value, term, detailed specification, delivery location or lot information is supplied.
View supporting evidence
Value, contract dates and lots are empty or null; description contains no detailed service specification.
