This open procedure, aimed at the education and training services sector, is focused on identifying suppliers who can provide mental health training and consultancy over a contract period running from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2025. The deadline for submitting expressions of interest was 9am on 14 February 2022, and the procurement is taking place in Richmond, England, under the classification of business services, specifically within law, marketing, consulting, and recruitment sectors. The contract value is set at £80,000, with each potential supplier able to express interest in one or more of the four Lots outlined in the contract specifications. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth prospects for businesses specialised in mental health consultancy and training services. Companies that focus on organisational development, awareness-raising programmes, and designing bespoke training sessions are particularly well-suited to compete. Organisations with diverse expert consultants, including those with lived experience, and those that understand the unique needs of the archival and heritage sectors will have a competitive advantage in addressing TNA's requirements. The flexibility of the contract allows for the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), fostering an inclusive environment for a wide range of bidders. ## Notice The National Archives (TNA) is seeking Expressions of Interest from potential suppliers to provide Mental Health Training services. We are seeking to partner with an organisation (or organisations) with wide and varied expertise to provide Mental Health organisational development consultancy, facilitation and learning and development on a generic and a bespoke basis.

We wish to work with an experienced training partner to deliver a range of mental health training activities through a plan of activity to tackle stigma and discrimination around mental health. This will include raising awareness and decreasing stigmatisation of people with mental ill health and supporting parity of mental health alongside physical health. It will also require an understanding of archival and heritage sector issues, such as dealing with sensitive and/or distressing material. We are coming from a positive place of high general awareness and commitment amongst staff at TNA, but we recognise there is always more to do. The successful provider(s) will ideally be able to draw upon a diverse range of consultants, including those with lived experience, and strong change leadership expertise to help us enable the shifts in attitudes, behaviours and practices we need to be a truly inclusive archive for everyone.
