Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board procured mental health support teams in schools for children and young people in Hammersmith and Fulham. The service provides clinical interventions in school settings where there is no existing mental health nurse support, using individual and group sessions across a range of psychiatric therapies. It is intended to reduce inequalities, improve community wellbeing and increase access by integrating schools with local services. The work also aims to support children and young people’s mental health needs and prevent admissions to crisis care or accident and emergency. The procurement is for health and community mental health services, including psychiatrist or psychologist services.

The contract was awarded to HFEH Mind through the Provider Selection Regime 2023, using Direct Award Process C without a prior call for competition. The award was made on 2 June 2026 and the contract is active. The contract value is £2,448,000 for the period 25 June 2026 to 24 December 2027. Evaluation was based entirely on quality: 100% assessed whether the existing provider was meeting the original contract and was likely to deliver the proposed contract to the required standard. Cost carried no weighting. One bid was recorded. The procurement relates to a single lot covering clinical interventions for children in schools.

This outcome indicates demand for an established provider able to deliver children and young people’s mental health services directly in schools across Hammersmith and Fulham. A credible competitor would need clinical expertise in psychiatric therapies, with capacity to provide both individual and group interventions in education settings. Experience of working with schools, local health and community services, and children and young people would be important. The requirement favours providers able to maintain continuity for students while improving access, reducing inequalities and supporting community wellbeing. Evidence of high-quality delivery, innovation, successful integration and prevention of crisis-care or accident-and-emergency admissions would strengthen a future submission.
