Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council initiated a contracting process for an "Emotional Mental Health and Wellbeing Service" focused on children and young people in Wolverhampton, UK. The tender falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services (CPV 85000000). This procurement was part of a planned succession of activities that began with market engagement, followed by a tender release earlier in the year, culminating in a tender cancellation notice dated 1st July 2026 due to necessary changes in the service specification and evaluation criteria. The council intended to proceed with a revised procurement exercise at a later date. Initial planning included the anticipation of a 3-year contract with an optional extension, valued at £450,000 per annum.

This tendering process presents significant prospects for businesses involved in emotional and mental health services for children and youth. Organisations with expertise in providing flexible and culturally sensitive support systems for individuals up to 25 years old, including those with SEND, are particularly well-suited. SMEs and VCSEs can engage with future opportunities to contribute to this essential service, nurturing a partnership with public authorities to help create a pivotal support system for the community, thus positioning themselves for sustained business growth through public sector collaboration.
