02/ The brief

What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

This Contract Award Notice is placed under the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Regulation 8 for Direct Award Process B, where the ICB is awarding this contract having conducted spot purchasing analysis and concluded that this is the only available option, and the ICB has a choice of providers, and is not seeking to restrict the number of providers.

The service is for specialised Psychiatric care for a named patient. Psychiatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) are specialist wards that provide inpatient mental health care, assessment and comprehensive treatment to individuals who are experiencing the most acutely disturbed phase of a serious mental disorder.

The contract has been awarded following direct award process B at £1,035.00 per week for a nominal period of 4 weeks as the duration is unknown. The patient would be reviewed daily Mon-Friday and would be repatriated where clinically appropriate.

Estimated total cost of £28,980.00 from 3rd August 2026 to not known.

The Trust had a spot purchasing arrangement with this provider in the past, and this is a continuation of this service for a new placement, now coming directly through the Trust whereas previously it sat under the ICB. The contract is new as the Trust are placing the contract directly, but the arrangements have been previously in place under the spot purchasing via the ICB.
