UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned a Wakefield Community Builder programme focused on helping young people transition to adult mental health support. The service connects voluntary and community organisations with Connecting Care Hubs and Primary Care Networks, complementing the existing social prescribing offer and bridging voluntary and statutory services. The Community Builder identifies training and engagement opportunities, delivers workshops, helps third-sector organisations find funding, and supports them to work with the Connecting Care mental health team. The work is delivered in Wakefield and concerns health and social work services.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Young Lives Consortium. The ICB used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026. Its value is £144,521.22 gross, for a term from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for one year, potentially to 31 March 2030. The published award data identifies one lot and an active award. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need to connect community and voluntary-sector organisations with NHS mental health pathways, including Connecting Care Hubs and primary care networks. Relevant capabilities include community engagement, delivering practical workshops and training, identifying funding opportunities, and helping third-sector groups collaborate with statutory mental health services. Experience in social prescribing and supporting young people through the transition to adult services would align closely with the requirement. The selected provider is a large voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that organisations with established community-sector relationships and capacity to sustain an integrated service are relevant competitors. The buying organisation is NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, and the work is specifically focused on Wakefield.
