Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council has progressed to the award stage in its procurement of services for the "Provision of a Children's Mental Health & Wellbeing Service" in the Angus area. The contract focuses on delivering early intervention and emotional wellbeing support for primary school-aged children. This service aims to complement universal services with responsive community support, addressing mental and emotional distress. Angus Council, a regional authority based in Forfar, Scotland, facilitated this procurement process through an open procedure, culminating in the award to Aberlour Child Care Trust. The contract, valued at £299,950, will become active following its signing on 14 April 2026.

This procurement opportunity offers substantial prospects for growth, particularly for organisations experienced in providing child-focused mental health services. Aberlour Child Care Trust, a large-scale supplier based in Glasgow, exemplified the competitive nature of this tender, which attracted five bids, including two from SMEs. Businesses poised to benefit include those specialising in early childhood mental and emotional health and those capable of integrating community-based support services. The process emphasised quality, valuing it at 60 percent of the award criteria against pricing. Such opportunities can foster meaningful growth and establish service providers within the public sector service delivery landscape.

Notice Title

Provision of a Childrens Mental Health & Wellbeing Service

Notice Description

We are seeking either one service or a collaboration of services to deliver this support to children and families in the Angus area. The service(s) in Angus will provide mental health and emotional wellbeing support for primary school age children who live in Angus, in addition to what can be provided through universal services. The service(s) will provide responsive, early support to concerns in respect of a child's mental wellbeing. This will be part of a continuum of additional support provided by a range of services within the community and, where necessary, signpost to other services for example Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to ensure a whole system approach. The service(s) will develop community support to address issues of mental and emotional distress and wellbeing rather than mental illness that may be more appropriately met through a more specialist service such as CAMHS. The service(s) must support an approach based on prevention and early intervention

The service(s) in Angus will provide mental health and emotional wellbeing support for primary school age children who live in Angus, in addition to what can be provided through universal services. The service(s) will provide responsive, early support to concerns in respect of a child's mental wellbeing. This will be part of a continuum of additional support provided by a range of services within the community and, where necessary, signpost to other services for example Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to ensure a whole system approach. The service(s) will develop community support to address issues of mental and emotional distress and wellbeing rather than mental illness that may be more appropriately met through a more specialist service such as CAMHS. The service(s) must support an approach based on prevention and early intervention",
