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
Status and date inconsistency
99% confidence
The source labels the opportunity as open and gives a 2026 Find a Tender notice URL/source update, while the narrative describes a 2025 intention-to-award notice, a 26 March 2025 representations deadline and a 3 March 2025 decision. The supplied evidence does not resolve this discrepancy.
View supporting evidence
Display status: "open"; source URL: "Notice/096625-2026"; source updated: "2026-10-13"; narrative dates: 26 March 2025 and 3 March 2025.
No open competitive route stated
99% confidence
The notice states an intention to award under PSR and an award procedure without prior publication, so suppliers should not assume a standard tender submission route is available.
View supporting evidence
"This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR." Source procedure: "Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition".
Incumbent delivery evidence
94% confidence
The narrative states that the current provider demonstrated delivery under the previous arrangement, which may indicate an incumbent advantage.
