North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)
This is a large award for Health & Social Care — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 35 notices, roughly one every 1 day. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
62% of North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust has created a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) and invites applications from suitably experienced organisations who wish to be considered for selection to qualify for the provision of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
Whilst there are no specified lots, interested organisations will be required to indicate their area(s) of expertise as part of the qualification process, this will form the basis of shortlisting bidders in future for specified requirements under the DPS.
The DPS went live in February 2023 and shall be live for a period of 5 years from this date.
The NHS Standard Terms and Conditions shall apply.
The purpose of issuing a new Contract Notice is to Inform the market of the re-opening of the DPS for qualification.
Previous notice reference 2022/S 000-017401.
