Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is procuring a mental health, suicide awareness and emotional wellbeing training service across Northumberland. The provider will deliver adult and youth Mental Health First Aid, suicide awareness and prevention, adult and youth mental health awareness, and bespoke modules tailored to the Council’s priorities. This is a staff training service, intended to support better mental health and wellbeing outcomes across the area. The appointed provider will work as a key partner in a multi-agency environment with statutory and non-statutory organisations. The opportunity therefore suits training providers able to deliver varied mental health learning to different audiences and collaborate with partners across Northumberland.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 30 July 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 31 July 2030. Its estimated value is £96,000 excluding VAT, or £115,200 including VAT. There is one lot. Award decisions will assess service delivery model 20%, implementation plan 10%, staffing 10%, performance management 10%, business continuity and civil contingencies 10%, addressing inequalities 10%, social value 10%, and price 20%.

This opportunity suits an established mental health training provider with the expertise and capacity to deliver both standard and bespoke training across Northumberland. Relevant delivery capability includes adult and youth Mental Health First Aid, suicide awareness and prevention, and adult and youth mental health awareness. Suppliers should be able to develop a clear implementation plan, provide suitable staffing, and manage performance throughout delivery. The requirement also favours organisations able to maintain service continuity during civil contingencies, address inequalities in access or outcomes, and demonstrate social value. Experience of working constructively in a multi-agency setting with statutory and non-statutory partners will be important, as the Council expects the provider to operate as a long-term strategic partner rather than only a course supplier.
