Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council, as the buying authority, has initiated a tender process for the "Healthier Minds Wellbeing Service" within the industry category of General Public Services. The service targets the improvement of mental wellbeing among children, young people, and their families and is located in the East Renfrewshire area (UKM83). The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, utilising an Open procedure via the Public Contracts Scotland - Tender portal. Key dates include the submission deadline on 10th June 2026, with the contract anticipated to start in early July 2026, running initially for two years with an optional one-year extension. The estimated value for the full service duration is £900,000.

This tender provides a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health services or those aiming to expand their footprint in public sector healthcare provision. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in child and family services, with a focus on holistic and systemic family support, will find this an attractive prospect. The requirement stipulates a minimum yearly turnover of £600,000 in the relevant business area over the past two years, positioning well-established providers potentially favourably.

Lot Information

Lot 1

East Renfrewshire Council on behalf of the Health & Social Care Partnership is inviting tenders, from suitably qualified providers for the Provision of a Healthier Minds Wellbeing Service. The service will be embedded within our existing Healthier Minds model and will work with children and young people aged 8 - 18 years old who attend school in East Renfrewshire or who ordinarily reside in East Renfrewshire. Whilst it is expected that a range of flexible supports will be provided, a key element of the service will be to ensure that children and young people's presenting needs are held within the context of family relationships. In addition to individual work, this will necessitate systemic family work which involves working with all family members to help build connection and a sense of safety within relationships so all family members, especially children, have their needs recognised and met.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.

Renewal: Option to extend for a further 12 months.
