On 6th December 2023, the Authority published a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice (VEAT) (Reference 2023/S 000-036014) to inform the market of its intention to award the contract.

The contract award is made to National Online Wellbeing Services Ltd T/A NOWs The Time for Change for the provision of Children & Young People's Therapeutic Health Based Coaching services. On 3rd February 20023, a procurement process was launched to identify a supplier to deliver the services.

This contract began on 1st April 2023 and is due to expire on 31st March 2024. HWE ICB are now intending to award a further contract to NOW to continue to deliver the services.

The total cumulative spend until March 2024 will be £1,253,302 (excluding VAT and excluding the value of the proposed new contract). The value of the new contract for a period of 3-years is £1,220,400 (£406,800 p/a excluding VAT) and may rise to £2,034,000 (excluding VAT) if the optional extension is enacted.
