Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "The Nest Open Access Children and Young People's Emotional Wellbeing Service." This initiative falls under the services category, specifically targeting health and social work services. The procurement is scheduled to proceed with a formal tender notice following a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) dated 2 June 2025. A key engagement event will be held online on 24 June 2025, inviting interested parties to participate. Prospective suppliers should note that the contract's anticipated start is from 1 June 2026, extending through 31 May 2029, with potential renewals until June 2031. The contract, valued at £3,000,000, represents a significant opportunity in the Greater London area to support children and young people's mental wellbeing.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health and social work services, particularly those offering innovative early intervention and emotional support programmes tailored to children and young people. Companies capable of delivering services like 1:1 therapy, workshops, and accessible drop-in services would be well-suited to compete. The emphasis on school-based programmes and parental support indicates potential collaborations for organisations experienced in integrating such services within educational settings. Additionally, the "light touch" procurement regime allows for greater flexibility, offering more diverse business models a chance to compete effectively.
