## Summary

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit has recently awarded contracts for the evaluations of two distinct projects: the Model of Community Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (LOT 1) and the Framework of Integrated Care for the Children and Young People's Secure Estate (LOT 2). Both evaluations will take place over a three-year period, starting from April 1, 2018, with a total budget of £450,000 per lot. The procurement process followed an open procedure, and the tender was completed on September 26, 2017, with evaluations covering various regions across the United Kingdom including London, the North East, and the South East.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health services, consulting, and behavioural evaluation. Firms that have experience with mental health services, especially those working with vulnerable young people, would be well-positioned to bid. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the contract's accessible scope and focus on high-quality evaluation, which aims to improve health outcomes for young individuals with complex needs.
