Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below

  • The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations

Explanation:

Gender Dysphoria support is a relatively new area of specialist emotional and mental health support for young people. The psychological support market is developing to keep pace with the growing demand. Recognising the need for face to face support for young people who may need help with their feelings, interventions need to be accessible within the local geography. Solent NHS Trust has considered market capability and capacity within the South East geography and has identified a limited provider market. As such, Solent NHS Trust believe that Yellow Door are the only local organisation at this time with the experience and capability of supporting the delivery of Domestic Violence and Gender Dysphoria Support in children and young people across Southampton. It is Solent NHS Trust's intention therefore to award a contract to Yellow Door. The contract value is £30,000 per annum.
