Mental Health Support Services - Brighton and Hove / West Sussex - ITT

The Commissioners (NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board and Brighton and Hove City Council) are seeking to appoint suitably experienced providers, to deliver Mental Health Support Services to the populations of Brighton and Hove and of West Sussex from 1st October 2025. The provision is divided into two Lots by geography:

Lot a) Brighton and Hove

Lot b) West Sussex.

Providers may submit a bid response to one or both lots.

The Commissioners will contract with a single legal entity for each Lot (one in Brighton and Hove and one in West Sussex), responsible for delivery of all required Mental Health Support Services in each area. Providers will decide and detail within their bid/s, how to structure themselves in order to ensure successful delivery of all required services. It is anticipated that organisations will join together to form business relationships in order to bid collectively as a single legal entity, for example, as a Lead Provider/Sub-Contractor model, a form of Alliance model with a Lead Member, a Consortium and so on.

The NHS Standard Contracts will be for a period of 5 years with an option (of the commissioner) to extend for a period of up to a further 24 months (5+2). The combined annual value across the two lots is £6,963,091.00, £34,815,455.00 over the 5 year duration and £48,741,637.00 should the full potential extension period be taken up.

The aim of the Mental Health Support Services (MHSS) is to improve the mental health and wellbeing of the adult population in Brighton and Hove and West Sussex.

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Contract Notice, procured as a 'Mixed Procurement' through the Competitive Process, 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 procurement nor any subsequent contract award.
