Summary of the contracting process

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned an adult Community Builder programme in Wakefield, delivered by NOVA – Wakefield District. The service integrates voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations into the local community mental health offer, connecting them with Connecting Care Hubs and Primary Care Networks. It builds on existing social prescribing provision and bridges voluntary and statutory services. The Community Builder identifies and delivers training and engagement workshops, helps third-sector organisations find funding opportunities, and supports them to work alongside the Connecting Care mental health team. The service is based in Wakefield and is classified as health and social work services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The ICB made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold route. NOVA – Wakefield District was selected, and the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £158,522.10. The service period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for one year, to a latest stated end date of 31 March 2030. There was one lot. The published procurement details do not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers preparing for a similar requirement from NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, this award indicates demand for a community-based service that can connect voluntary and community organisations with statutory mental health provision and local primary care networks. A credible provider would need to deliver practical training and engagement workshops, build relationships across community and health services, and help smaller organisations identify funding and collaborate with the Connecting Care team. Experience of social prescribing and integrating voluntary-sector support into community mental health services would be directly relevant. The selected provider was a large voluntary, community and social enterprise organisation, suggesting the buyer has worked with a provider able to deliver this service at district level.
