UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council, a sub-central governmental public authority based in Matlock, is currently in the planning update stage of a procurement process titled "CPH157 Children and Young People's Social Prescribing and Youth Outreach - CYP Mental Health and Wellbeing". This initiative focuses on developing mental health support services for children and young people across Derbyshire. A preliminary market engagement event will be held on the 18th of March 2026 at the Parkwood Centre in Alfreton, Derbyshire. Interested parties were invited to participate in preliminary activities, including a survey and an in-person event, to provide feedback on potential service models. The procurement is scheduled to start in April 2027 and will potentially run for three years, with options to extend by two additional twelve-month periods. The estimated funding allocated for this contract is £1.3 million per annum.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the health and social services sectors, particularly those specialising in mental health and youth outreach services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this tender particularly appealing, given its inclusivity for consortia and the county-wide service delivery requirement. Engaging in this procurement process can aid businesses in expanding their service offerings and establishing a significant footprint in the public sector, potentially influencing mental health service models and gaining valuable experience in delivering government-funded projects. Interested businesses are encouraged to attend the preliminary market engagement event to better understand the Council's needs and discuss viable service delivery models.
