Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian is initiating a public tender for the "Provision of a Psychological, Mental Health & Wellbeing Services" aiming to enhance mental health support within Aberdeen. This procurement falls under the health industry category, located in Aberdeen, UK, and is currently in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 18 January 2021. The contract is valued at £691,429 and is intended to be a two-year engagement with an optional extension. The tender is being conducted via an open procurement process, allowing a broad range of suppliers to participate.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those that can deliver high-volume, brief treatment packages such as guided self-help and group-based therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Companies with expertise in developing and implementing mental health solutions will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, especially those familiar with the clinical treatment guidelines outlined by NICE and the Scottish Matrix. The establishment of this service is crucial, as there currently exists no comparable offering in Aberdeen City, indicating a gap in the market that organisations can seek to fulfil.

Notice Title

Provision of a Psychological, Mental Health & Wellbeing Services

Notice Description

NHS Grampian is looking to establish a Tier 1 service that will improve individual mental health and wellbeing through timely access to appropriate services. This service will complement the existing Psychological Therapy service by establishing 4 Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) posts offering Tier 1 high volume, brief treatment packages consisting of 1-2-1 guided self-help and group-work based therapy including CBT. This will be to provide evidence-based treatment in line with clinical treatment guidelines (NICE, the Scottish Matrix) for Tier 1 (mild) mental health problems which are diagnosable within clinical diagnostic frameworks such as ICD-10, or symptoms which present as a precursor to clinically diagnosable conditions, in order to prevent their progression to more serious mental health problems. At present no comparable service exists within Aberdeen City and so the needs of this patient group remain largely unmet or are met less appropriately within higher tiered services. This service looks to support and improve mental wellbeing and thus the quality of life of the local population by providing access to this service in the community. The contract is for two years with the option to extend for additional two years (+1+1). See our specification for more information.
