Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is managing a procurement process for the "Mental Health Policy - Suicide Prevention Grant Fund Administration" contract, which is classified under administration services. The procurement method utilised is a limited procedure, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This contract, aimed at establishing a grant fund of £4m to £5m to support voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations in suicide prevention efforts, is currently at the award stage, with the contract signed on 1st November 2021 and outlined for the financial year 2021/22. The delivery location is set in London, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in grant administration, particularly those with experience in managing public funds or similar initiatives, as well as firms that support the voluntary sector. Given the focus on enhancing services in the wake of COVID-19, businesses that understand the complexities of mental health support in a community context and are adept at navigating grant frameworks would be particularly well-suited to compete. This is an excellent chance for service providers in the health and social care fields to expand their engagement and impact within the community.

Notice Title

DHSC: Mental Health Policy - Suicide Prevention Grant Fund Administration

Notice Description

The authority is appointing an administrator to manage the grant fund on the Department's behalf.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) would like to set up a grant fund to support voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that work to prevent suicide, including supporting their ability to continue to meet increased demands or needs for their services as a result of COVID-19. The grant fund will be between PS4m and PS5m (final amount TBC), minus the cost of the administration service. The grant fund is for 2021/22 only. The suicide prevention policy team within DHSC does not have the capacity or expertise to deliver this grant fund to this timeframe and is therefore seeking a grant administrator to administer this fund, in full, on the Department's behalf.
