In plain English
Wolverhampton City Council, working with Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, wants one or more organisations to run a local emotional and mental health and wellbeing service. It will support children and young people aged 5 to 18 with mild to moderate emotional or mental health needs, extending to age 25 for those with special educational needs or disabilities or who are care leavers. The contract runs for 3 years with two optional 1-year extensions, at about £533,500 per year, and must support at least 1,800 young people each year.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver direct emotional and mental health support to at least 1,800 children and young people each year, across the age ranges specified, including the extended age range for SEND and care leavers. • Work in partnership with the council and Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, including joint working, referral pathways and shared clinical governance. • Provide safe, well-governed services with trained staff, safeguarding arrangements, and reporting on outcomes and activity over the contract term.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The scale of the caseload, the need for clinical governance and NHS partnership working, and the requirement for proven experience in children's mental health delivery would likely exclude most small businesses unless they are established specialist providers or join a consortium.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
