Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a community health and wellbeing intervention through Barnsley Council Public Health. The work supports early-intervention emotional wellbeing and mental health provision for children and young people across Barnsley, including those with low-level or emerging difficulties. It contributes to the employment costs of an Emotional Wellbeing Practitioner within an existing Compass Be service, rather than creating a new service. Delivery takes place in community and education settings, alongside schools, Early Help, health services and voluntary sector organisations. The wider service provides preventative, goal-based support to children, young people and their families, with timely access to emotional wellbeing support and links to the local suicide prevention system.

This procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Compass - Services to Improve Health and Wellbeing, an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The below-threshold procedure was conducted without competition under the light-touch regime. The award date was 7 May 2026, when the contract was also signed. The active contract runs from 7 May 2026 to 31 March 2027 and has a gross value of £40,000 GBP. It covers one completed lot. Performance is monitored through activity, engagement, quality and outcome measures, including FLASH and Teen FLASH training, parent or carer support sessions, reach, attendance, feedback, support for priority or vulnerable groups, improved confidence and coping, awareness of support pathways, safeguarding records, supervision and reflective practice.

This award indicates demand for specialist, preventative emotional wellbeing services for children, young people and families in Barnsley, delivered through existing community and education networks. A credible future competitor would need an established intervention model, qualified emotional wellbeing practitioners and the capacity to provide early support for low-level or emerging mental health difficulties. Relevant strengths include effective partnership working with schools, Early Help, health services and voluntary organisations; accessible support pathways; and experience engaging priority or vulnerable cohorts. Providers should also be able to demonstrate parent and carer engagement, group support, training delivery, attendance and completion monitoring, participant feedback, outcome reporting, appropriate safeguarding arrangements, regular clinical or professional supervision and reflective practice.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Intervention Grant

Notice Description

Barnsley Council Public Health awarded a one-off intervention grant to Compass Be - Services to Improve Health and Wellbeing for the period 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The grant is funded through suicide prevention allocations administered by Public Health. The purpose of the grant is to contribute towards the employment costs of a Grade D Emotional Wellbeing Practitioner (EWP) within the existing Compass Be service. The practitioner role supports the delivery of early intervention emotional wellbeing and mental health support for children and young people across Barnsley. Compass Be is an established specialist service providing preventative, goal-based emotional wellbeing support to children, young people and their families. The service operates within community and education settings and works alongside schools, Early Help, health services and voluntary sector organisations to provide timely and accessible support. The funding does not commission a new service. Rather, it provides a contribution towards additional practitioner capacity within an existing intervention already being delivered by Compass Be, enabling enhanced support for children and young people experiencing low-level or emerging emotional wellbeing difficulties as part of the wider Barnsley emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention system.
