North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust (NSCHT) 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). The purpose of issuing a new Contract Notice is to Inform the market of the re-opening of the DPS for qualification. North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust (NSCHT) is committed to delivering high quality mental health care to the Children and Young People (CYP) of North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, in line with the NHS Five Year Forward View, Integrated Care System Partnership working, the NHS Long Term Plan and intelligence around the needs of the local population. It is recognised that some CYP are more vulnerable and susceptible to poor mental ill health. There are estimated to be around 10,400 CYP in Staffordshire and 3,700 in Stoke-on-Trent aged 5-16 with a mental health disorder. The DPS provides for a full range of different Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services covering the areas of North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent. The DPS offers different delivery modalities including face to face, digital and a blended approach. This DPS service specification (Stage 1) seeks to provide an overview of the future scope of the DPS for qualification purposes. NSCHT aims to use the DPS to procure CAMHS services that will enhance existing delivery and work intuitively with the Trust's provision. All future service specifications and provision under the DPS (Stage 2) will be expected to: • Operate across the 0-25-year spectrum, in line with detailed specification requirements, most of the activity is expected to be within the 0-18-year spectrum. • Take a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach to care and support for service users, as appropriate. • Take a strengths-based and trauma informed approach to care/support that has an outcome focus. • Use agreed and appropriate outcome measure tools. • Provide timely, high quality and accessible services for children and young people and their families/carers. Whilst there will not be specified lots, interested organisations will be required to indicate their area(s) of expertise and delivery modalities as part of the qualification process. This will form the basis of shortlisting bidders in future for specified requirements under the DPS (stage 2). The DPS went live February 2023 and shall be live for a period of 5 years from this date. The DPS shall remain open over this period for new organisations to complete the registration process and join. Once appointed all eligible/capable providers shall be invited into requests for quotations as and when requirements become available. NHS Standard Terms and Conditions shall apply. The DPS shall remain open to reasonable modification for innovative practices being introduced by bidders and changes within the healthcare system throughout the life of the DPS. Applicants should register there interest to join the DPS via the MLCSU Atamis eTendering System https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8526,6741 median · 24.7 average (14,520 of 26,674 with a bid count)1.9 average (15,771 of 26,674 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£3,252,998 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £5,000,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
