Details

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) provides mental health services across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire, from more than 90 community and inpatient sites and through partnerships with external organisations. Services include acute mental health, recovery, liaison and dementia services, forensic services, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and a range of highly specialist mental health services.

AWP is currently in segment 3 of the NHS Oversight Framework and rated Amber-Green under the Provider Capability assessment. Following a Care Quality Commission inspection in 2024, reported in May 2025, the Trust's well-led rating was 'requires improvement'. AWP operates across two financially challenged Integrated Care Systems and works with the South West Provider Collaborative for mental health services.

The Board has invested in strengthening external stakeholder relationships and reviewing partnership working models. It has also experienced material membership changes since the previous well-led inspection, including a new Chair in autumn 2024 and three new Non-Executive Directors commencing in 2026.

AWP now requires an independent, developmental review of leadership and governance against the Care Quality Commission well-led framework. The review will provide objective and constructive challenge, identify prioritised developmental actions and inform targeted improvement work to secure and sustain future performance.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
