Summary of the contracting process

North East London NHS Foundation Trust is commissioning a voluntary and community sector partner to employ, support and develop Peer Support Workers for Mental Health and Wellness Teams in Havering. The service is intended to support people using mental health and wellness services, with the provider expected to bring innovation and continuous improvement to service delivery and outcomes. This is a community mental health support service, classified under provision of services to the community. The work is for Havering and is being bought by an NHS foundation trust. It is specifically intended for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, including suitable small and medium-sized businesses working in community support, mental health or peer support.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot, with an estimated value of £145,000 gross. Questions or clarification requests had to be submitted by 21 August 2026 at 18:00, and tender responses by 8 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is due to run from 1 January 2027 to 30 June 2028, with an option to extend by a further 18 months in total, subject to satisfactory performance and available finances; the maximum extension date is 30 December 2029. Evaluation is weighted 60% technical quality, 30% cost and 10% social value. Responses are submitted electronically through the Atamis tendering system.

This opportunity suits voluntary and community sector organisations able to recruit, employ and develop Peer Support Workers for mental health and wellness teams in Havering. Strong candidates will need practical experience of delivering community-based mental health support, engaging people who use services and contributing to positive outcomes. The requirement also favours providers able to demonstrate innovation, continuous improvement and effective service development. Organisations must be capable of completing the technical and commercial questionnaires fully and providing a credible service approach alongside their price and social value commitments. The procurement is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist providers with relevant local delivery experience may compete alongside larger community support organisations.
