Summary of the contracting process

NHS South West London Integrated Care Board commissioned a suicide prevention and bereavement support service for the six boroughs of South West London. The suicide prevention element aims to reduce suicide and self-harm through early intervention, awareness-raising, community and professional support, and targeted interventions for people at higher risk. It includes training for organisations working with vulnerable communities, accessible digital resources, improved signposting, and collaboration across health, education, local government, workplaces and voluntary, community and social enterprise groups. The service is also intended to strengthen local prevention arrangements, use evidence-based approaches to self-harm, and monitor outcomes to improve delivery. Training services are a defined component. The recorded delivery location is England; the service description identifies South West London as the area served.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Integrated Care Support Services Ltd. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition for this light-touch service. One lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with an option described as a further year, up to 30 June 2028. The published contract value is £250,000 gross; the recorded net amount is £0, so the gross figure is the stated value for comparison. No award date or evaluation criteria are recorded. The competition concerned a single overarching service specification covering suicide prevention and bereavement support across South West London.

For suppliers considering comparable work for this buyer, the award indicates demand for an integrated, community-based suicide prevention and bereavement support service, with training as part of delivery. A credible provider would need to combine early intervention and awareness-raising with practical support, signposting and tailored interventions for people facing elevated risks, including men, autistic people and people affected by substance misuse or domestic violence. The specification also points to the need to work across healthcare, local authorities, education, workplaces and community organisations, including organisations serving vulnerable groups. Experience in evidence-based self-harm prevention, accessible digital communications, partnership working and involvement of people with lived experience would be relevant. Suppliers would also need the capacity to collect outcome data, gather feedback and use monitoring to improve a multi-agency service across six boroughs.
