Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council commissioned an emotional mental health and wellbeing service for children and young people in Wolverhampton. The service is the ‘Getting Help’ element of the iThrive model, formerly known as Tier 2, and falls within health and social work services (CPV 85000000). It supports children from birth to their 18th birthday, with provision up to age 25 for disabled young people and care leavers living in Wolverhampton. The requirement covers mild to moderate emotional, mental health and wellbeing concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, self-harm, bereavement, bullying, family and relationship problems, attachment difficulties, adverse childhood experiences, risk-taking and disruptive behaviour. Provision must address autism, learning disability and other vulnerable groups.

This procurement has been awarded. It was divided into one lot and the selected supplier is Base 25, an SME. The award is active. The contract is valued at £2,752,612 GBP and was signed on 19 March 2021. Its stated duration is 1,800 days. An amendment varies service delivery from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The council used a tender process under the legal framework for public procurement. The requirement is for a minimum of 1,200 children and young people per year. The amendment records that a recent recommissioning exercise was not concluded because the service specification, pricing schedule and evaluation questions require essential changes before a revised procurement exercise.

This requirement is relevant to organisations delivering community-based emotional mental health and wellbeing services for children and young people, particularly those supporting mild to moderate needs rather than specialist or acute clinical care. Credible providers would need experience across anxiety, depression, stress, self-harm, bereavement, bullying, family and relationship difficulties, attachment problems, adverse childhood experiences, risk-taking and disruptive behaviour. Capability to adapt services for autistic children and young people, people with learning disabilities, disabled young people and care leavers is important. Providers should also be able to work across the childhood-to-young-adult transition, support at least 1,200 service users annually, and demonstrate sufficient operational capacity to respond to sustained demand in Wolverhampton.
