Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council intends to develop a community mental health support service providing targeted support to communities across North Yorkshire. The requirement is classed as community health services and is expected to cover four geographical areas: Harrogate and Rural District; Hambleton and Richmondshire; Vale and Selby; and Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale. The council is seeking market information to understand the scope, feasibility and range of potential service solutions before preparing any future procurement. Delivery would take place within the relevant communities across these North Yorkshire areas. The service is therefore relevant to providers of community-based mental health support, including organisations able to design and deliver targeted provision across one or more of the proposed geographical areas.

This process is at the planning stage and is a request for information, not an invitation to tender. North Yorkshire Council is consulting potential providers to shape the requirement and possible future procurement documents. The council intends to structure the future service as four geographical lots covering Harrogate and Rural District; Hambleton and Richmondshire; Vale and Selby; and Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale. A subsequent notice is currently expected on 4 January 2027. The proposed procurement procedure and method have not been settled in this planning record. No contract value, budget, contract duration or tender deadline is stated. Businesses should treat the current exercise as an opportunity to inform the developing service rather than to submit a bid.

The exercise will suit established community mental health providers and organisations with experience of delivering targeted support in local communities. Suppliers with a practical understanding of mental health needs across North Yorkshire, and with the ability to develop workable service models, are likely to be well placed to contribute. The proposed lotting may allow organisations to focus on a particular area, while providers with wider geographic coverage could prepare to support several areas. Relevant preparation includes considering how services could operate in Harrogate and Rural District, Hambleton and Richmondshire, Vale and Selby, or Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale, and being ready to explain the solutions, delivery approach and local capacity that could be offered when the future procurement is developed.
