Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has awarded a contract for the provision of a Behavioural Intervention Support Programme for Children and Young People (CYP) residing in Suffolk. This falls under the industry category of Community Health Services. The procurement utilised the Most Suitable Provider (MSP) process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, bypassing the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at £185,710, was awarded on 2nd January 2025, with service commencement on the same date, for a duration of two years. The programme aims to support at-risk youths to prevent interactions with the criminal justice system and promote their well-being within their communities.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations experienced in delivering community health services, particularly those specialising in behavioural interventions for children and young people. Companies with a strong background in joint working with health, social care, schools, and youth justice systems are well-suited to compete. Organisations capable of providing early interventions, training for those working with CYP, and employing outreach methods for hard-to-engage youths will find themselves well-positioned for this project. The focus on preventive measures and holistic support systems promises a meaningful impact, translating into a valuable contract for the selected provider.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a notice to inform the market of the intention to award a contract for Behavioural Intervention Support Programme for CYP residents via the Most Suitable Provider Process (MSP).

The aim of the service is to target and support Children & Young People (CYPs) to offer interventions to prevent them from getting into the criminal justice pathway. Or for those already in the pathway, to offer interventions to prevent reoccurrence of their engagement with the criminal justice system, and live meaningful and productive lives within their chosen community.

It is recognized that adverse life events in the early years of a child's life increases the risk of the development of mental health problems and behavioural problems. Such untreated mental ill-health in CYPs can in turn reduce educational and work prospects and increase the risk of reoffending.

Early intervention is viewed as critical in preventing at risk CYPs from becoming excluded from schools and other educational forums. This projects across the EoE will seek to address the emotional, social, and mental health problems that may result from disruptive, defiant, and/or delinquent behaviour. Again, with the goal of preventing CYPs from entering/engaging with the wider criminal justice pathway.

As such the CYP projects will:
* Offer early intervention and prevention that targets those with emotional issues, at risk of offending/challenging behaviour across schools and justice settings.
* Joint work working with health, social care, schools and youth justice to provide holistic support to CYP (to include embedding services in schools and youth offending services where appropriate).
* Work with system partners
* Work with system partners to provide support for CYPs with emerging emotional wellbeing or behavioural issues and/or offending behaviour that may lead to engagement with the criminal justice pathway or exclusion from school.
* Training for those in contact with CYPs to improve skills to: 1. Recognise emerging emotional wellbeing/behavioural issues, 2. Respond to issues in a way that recognises the multi-faceted emotional needs of CYPs. Support by an understanding of support available across schools and YOT teams.
* Adopt methods for hard-to-engage CYPs, using outreach approaches to meet with the CYP in their community.

This is a new service that will be delivered by a new Provider.

The service will commence from the contract start date of 1st December 2024 until 30th November 2026,

Total contract value is PS185,770 over 2 years contract period (PS92,885 per annum)
