In plain English
The NHS is looking for a voluntary or community sector organisation to help run a neighbourhood mental health hub in Westminster. This is a service delivery contract to provide accessible mental health support and prevention services that work closely with GPs, local council services, and community groups.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver mental health support services from a visible, welcoming mental health centre serving Westminster residents • Work with primary care (GPs), local authority services, and community organisations to provide joined-up care • Focus on prevention, early intervention, and shifting mental health care closer to home rather than hospital-based services
Requirements
Named in the buyer's notice:
- VCSE (voluntary, community, social enterprise) status or partnership
- Experience delivering mental health services or community health support
- Safeguarding and data protection compliance (NHS standards)
- Mental Capacity Act and Equality Act compliance
- Partnership working across health, local authority, and community sectors
- Staff with mental health qualifications or experience
What could rule a small business out: This contract is explicitly for VCSE (voluntary, community, and social enterprise) organisations only: for-profit private companies and sole traders without charitable status will likely be excluded. You would need to be a registered charity, social enterprise, or community group, or partner with one.
