Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured delivery of the Mental Health First Aider element of its Champion Development Programme for the external social care workforce. This is a staff training and health and social care service, with training services as the primary classification. Delivery is across the East Midlands. The requirement is aimed at developing mental health champions among people working in external social care organisations, rather than providing general workforce training or frontline clinical treatment. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include providers of Mental Health First Aid training, workforce development, staff education and related consultancy services, particularly those able to work with social care employers and deliver training across the East Midlands.

The procurement has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 7 June 2026 at 12:00. The award date was 29 June 2026, with the contract running from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. Two active awards were made separately, each valued at £15,000: one to The Jen Group and one to Consultancy+. The tender suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises could participate. The procurement is for services and uses a framework route rather than an open competition. The published information identifies the requirement and successful suppliers, but does not set out an award scoring basis or lot structure.

This award shows that Nottinghamshire County Council buys specialist mental health workforce training for external social care providers through framework call-offs. A credible future competitor would need a clear capability to deliver Mental Health First Aid training as part of a structured champion development programme, with content suitable for the social care workforce rather than a generic corporate audience. Relevant strengths would include qualified trainers, robust course materials, learner support, reliable scheduling and the capacity to deliver consistently across the East Midlands. Experience working with care providers, understanding workplace mental health and demonstrating measurable learning outcomes would help establish credibility. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist provider could compete alongside larger consultancies.
