Procedure rationaleAward of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below<br/>• The services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:<br/>• absence of competition for technical reasons<br/>Explanation:<br/>The contracts being awarded under this notice are for the retained Specialised Mental Health, Learning Disability, and Autism (MHLDA) services, which are provided on a multi-regional footprint and form an essential part of the wider MHLDA care pathway. These contracts have been held by NHS England during 2024/25 and will be awarded on the same basis.<br/>These contracts include multiple interdependent services, reflecting the nature of specialised care. It is therefore understood that there is no alternative provision for these contracts due to the specialised nature of the services and the essential role they play within the wider MHLDA care system.<br/>This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using Direct Award Process A. Under these regulations, where there is an existing provider of the service, and the service can only be delivered by that provider, no other process can be used.
