Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board has successfully completed the procurement process for providing a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) informed therapeutic pathway and supervision service for children and young people aged 5-18. This service is classified under health services and falls within the services procurement category. It will be implemented across Norfolk, specifically in the region UKH1. The procurement culminated with the award of the contract on 13th June 2025 to Ormiston Families. The tender employed an open procedure method, adhering to the initiation type of tender, and was awarded based on technical quality criteria. The contract, anticipated to last an initial three years with the option to extend for two years, received a solitary valid bid amounting to £3,855,000. Key activities included clinical supervision to enhance the support and effectiveness of Children's Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs) within Norfolk County Council. The initial stages of the procurement were marked by comprehensive planning and tender processes during the middle of 2023.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the health services sector to engage in impactful collaboration with the NHS in Norfolk. With its focus on CBT informed therapy and supervision support for young people, it is particularly advantageous for organisations experienced in delivering mental health services to children and families. Enterprises with expertise in low-intensity and evidence-based healthcare interventions, and those capable of fostering cross-sectoral collaboration amongst healthcare, education, and social care agencies, would be well-suited to contribute to such projects and secure their business growth through this engagement. Furthermore, the Thrive approach being adopted offers a platform to influence broader systemic change within mental health services, thus inviting innovative proposals that can enhance service accessibility and quality for young people in the region. The explicit invitation for collaborative work with mental health system partners positions this tender as an ideal opportunity to drive service improvement and advocacy across the sector.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (referred to as the Commissioner) invited suitably qualified and experienced providers to express their interest in the provision of a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) informed therapy service.

The aim of this service is to provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) informed therapy for 5-18s, delivered by a team of Children's Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs), Senior CWPs and other senior roles, including management and clinical supervision.

Clinical supervision will also be provided for a team of CWPs embedded within Norfolk County Council.

CWPs are trained to offer guided self-help to children, young people and families with mild to moderate anxiety, low mood and common behavioural problems.

The brief focused evidence-based interventions provided by CWPs are in the form of low intensity support and guided self-help to young people who demonstrate mild/moderate:
Anxiety (primary and secondary school age)
Low mood (adolescents)
Common behavioural difficulties (working with parents for under 8s).
Delivery of CBT informed therapy expected outcomes:
In line with Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) principles this service provision should seek to improve services to children, young people (CYP) and their families through:
* Better evidence-based practice - increasing the availability and knowledge of best evidence-based interventions
* Better collaborative practice - goal focused and client centred interventions, using feedback tools to facilitate better working between mental health professionals and families and young people, leading to more personalised care
* Improved service user participation - children, young people and their families having a voice and influence at all levels of the organisation
* Improved cross agency working - encouraging and supporting cross agency collaboration between Health, Social Care and the voluntary and independent sectors
* More accountable services - through the rigorous monitoring of clinical outcomes to be able to share outcomes with young people and families and demonstrate effectiveness to commissioners
* Increased awareness - working in partnership with organisations delivering mental health services, and those in other sectors working with young people and families to increase understanding of the importance of well-being and decrease stigma.
The provider of this project will commit to working collaboratively with children and young people's mental health (CYPMH) and wider health, education and care system partners and adopt a Thrive approach for CYP accessing mental health (MH) services
Clinical supervision expected outcomes:
* CWPs within relevant services receive the required level of clinical supervision, mentoring and support by an appropriately trained clinical supervisor in line with British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) accreditation requirements
* CWPs receive a positive experience and are well supported

This is an initial 3 year contract with the option to extend for up to an additional 2 years.

Options: The contract is for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for up to an additional 2 years.
