This tender is classified under software package and information systems, with a budget of £25,000. The procurement process is in the open stage, and submissions must be received by 9:30 AM on 5 April 2021. The contract will commence on 1 May 2021 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2022, with services to be delivered in the South West region of England. This opportunity promises significant growth potential for businesses, especially those specialising in IT services, health training, or staff development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as the scope of the training aims to reach a broad audience by complementing existing mental health training programmes. Companies that can deliver innovative online training solutions focusing on psychological first aid and trauma-informed practices would be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Employment changes during the 2008 financial crisis highlighted the adverse impact on a range of chronic conditions, with the strongest effect being on mental health. Whilst we are in unprecedented times (i.e. not necessarily comparable to the financial crisis), there is evidence that the Covid-19 pandemic is significantly impacting mental wellbeing. This will have both a short and long-lasting effect on mental health and result from a complex interaction between diverse socio-economic determinants of health (Institute for Fiscal Studies, 2020). Having somewhere warm/safe to live and employment are some of the key pillars to protecting and maintaining good mental health. During the first wave of the pandemic, there were concerns across the economy and rising mental health needs across private, public and voluntary sectors. With the additional pressures experienced by many key workers and changes to home working, individuals being furloughed and/or increased anxieties about having a job, led to us proactively develop a set of mental health information and guidance for different groups of people. Despite existing interventions and information available, there was a clear need for additional training for the wider workforce. Combining psychological first aid, mental health awareness and trauma informed training offers together will provide unique support for organisations and businesses, whilst maximising the benefits of delivering an introduction to Mental Health awareness alongside trauma informed training. This introductory offer will not replace existing training offers such as the Mental Health First Aid training (MHFA) training provided by Healthy Cornwall, but seek to complement the programme, and others, to reach the wider workforce by providing an online resource. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f6b0acd-588f-4502-a960-b595ba069516 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 5 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72212930 - Training and entertainment software development services - 80511000 - Staff training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80561000 - Health training services ## Release History - 18 Mar 2021 at 14:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f6b0acd-588f-4502-a960-b595ba069516 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f6b0acd-588f-4502-a960-b595ba069516 18th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
