Summary of the contracting process

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board is buying an early intervention mental health pathway for children, young people and young adults. The service combines self-guided resources, moderated online community content and journaling with live one-to-one practitioner support, safety planning and structured support pathways. It is a clinically led digital support offer, intended to provide young people with accessible help and routes into more structured support. Delivery is associated with the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire area. The requirement is for a digital health provider able to deliver both online resources and practitioner-led support to this age group.

The contract has been formally awarded under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime, using direct award process C without a prior competition. Soluna by Kooth (Kooth Digital Health Limited) was selected as the existing provider. The award was confirmed on 14 September 2026, and the service period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The stated approximate lifetime contract value is £45,720. The decision assessed the existing provider’s performance and likelihood of meeting the requirement to a sufficient standard; quality carried all the stated weight, while value carried none. The ICB also cited that the arrangements are not changing considerably and that the provider’s existing service meets the key criteria. An option is described as being available under the PSR regulations.

This award shows demand for a relatively focused digital mental health service for children and young people, combining self-directed tools, moderated peer-community content and direct practitioner contact. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement from this ICB would need to demonstrate reliable delivery across these connected elements, including safety planning and structured support pathways, rather than offering digital content alone. Evidence of strong performance against the existing service requirements is particularly relevant: the selection turned on the provider’s record and its expected ability to continue to meet the standard, with quality decisive. Credible providers would also need to show that their service can meet the needs of children, young people and young adults and integrate a clinically led approach with accessible digital support. The stated scale points to a compact, single-service contract.
