Onebright approved as NHS Framework supplier
Onebright has been named as a supplier on the NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism: Assessment and Diagnosis, NHS Talking Therapies and Crisis Services framework agreement.
This milestone allows NHS England, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), NHS Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts, local authorities, and combined authorities to access our services directly through the framework.
It is a vital step in supporting local mental health objectives and enabling an efficient agile procurement process to add in capacity and expertise in a responsive way where it is most needed.
Meeting NHS priorities
NHS SBS designed this framework to respond to the growing demand for mental health services, as highlighted in the NHS Long Term Plan, the 2024/25 priorities, and the Lord Darzi review. Waiting times remain a challenge for many communities, and the need for accessible, flexible, high-quality provision has never been greater.
The framework offers NHS bodies a compliant, efficient route to work with approved suppliers who have the expertise, capacity, and standards needed to deliver effective care.
