Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) intends to procure a comprehensive workplace mental health and wellbeing support service. The requirement centres on support for Mental Health First Aiders, including dedicated clinical support, continuing professional development, guidance and resources. It also includes a secure online platform for confidential conversation logging, monitoring, reporting and governance, with management information and trend insight. The supplier will provide additional employee wellbeing services and resources for wellbeing campaigns, plus Mental Health First Aider training, workshops and awareness sessions on subjects such as mental health, safeguarding, neurodiversity and financial wellbeing. Ongoing account management, implementation assistance and user support are required, alongside data security, safeguarding and information governance arrangements. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The service category is health and social work services (CPV 85000000).

This procurement is at the planning stage: YPO has stated its intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. The expected procedure and procurement method have not yet been settled. YPO is undertaking a request-for-quotation market engagement exercise to identify a capable supplier and expects interested suppliers to provide proposals covering their solution, platform and reporting, wellbeing resources, training, implementation, compliance, experience, pricing and contract terms. Responses to that engagement are expected by 2 October 2026. The planned contract is for one lot, with an indicative term from 8 January 2027 to 7 January 2029 and an option extending the maximum period to 7 December 2031. The estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT, or £108,000 including VAT. The lot is considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This work is likely to suit suppliers that combine workplace wellbeing expertise with the ability to support Mental Health First Aider networks at organisational scale. Relevant capability includes operating a secure, GDPR-compliant platform for sensitive conversation records, with controlled confidentiality, reporting, governance and management information. Suppliers should be able to provide clinical support for MHFAs, structured CPD, practical resources and user assistance, and deliver training specific to Mental Health First Aiders. Experience in workplace wellbeing programmes and established MHFA networks will be important, supported by client references. The buyer is also looking for a credible implementation and account-management model, appropriate information security and safeguarding arrangements, and a broad range of wellbeing support, workshops and awareness content. SMEs and VCSEs are identified as suitable potential suppliers.
