## Summary

The East Sussex County Council has awarded a consultancy contract for the provision of a Trauma-informed Capacity Building Psychologist and Team Leader. The contract falls under the industry category of Social work and related services. The contract value is £105,000 GBP and the procurement method used was Other - Direct Award Below Threshold. The contract period is from 1st December 2022 to 31st March 2024. The contract was awarded to O'Neill Psychology Consulting Ltd. The tender period ended on 15th June 2022, and the contract address is in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This consultancy contract offers business growth opportunities for service providers in the mental health sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) suitable for this tender should have expertise in delivering trauma-informed capacity building services to support vulnerable individuals in managing their mental health. The contract, focusing on reducing lengths of stay and sustaining tenancies, presents a chance for businesses to contribute positively to mental health support services in the region, thereby enhancing their service portfolio and impact.

## Notice

Three separate contracts are required to continue to deliver the commissioned Supported Accommodation and Refuges Virtual Team (VT), to provide capacity building support to providers in order to reduce the average lengths of stay in each service and to sustain move-on tenancies for vulnerable young people and adults in the private rented sector. This award notice relates to contract three of the VT; the provision of a Team Leader and trauma-informed specialist to provide support to providers and enable residents to better manage their mental health. This contract has reduced in value by PS17,165.36 for the remaining contract period (from 1st December 2023 until 31st March 2024) to reflect the reduction in provision to one day per week and removal of the Team Leader element.
