## Summary

Kent County Council has awarded a contract for conducting a comprehensive Mental Health Needs Assessment (MHNA) for the population of Kent aged 16 and over. This procurement is classified under the health services category with the contract title "SC240121 - Request for Quotation - Mental Health Needs Assessment." The contract, valued at £40,000, was awarded to Raj K Hira Coaching and Consultancy. The delivery will take place in England, United Kingdom, and the procurement method used was an open procedure. Initially published on 25th July 2024, the award stage was completed with the contract start date set for 24th September 2024, and it will run until 3rd February 2025.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs with expertise in health services, particularly in the field of mental health assessments. Successful bidders will not only gain financial benefits but also contribute to the improvement of mental health services within Kent’s Integrated Care System (ICS) and local health alliances. Such engagements are particularly beneficial for organisations that specialise in data analysis, public health consulting, and service evaluation, thereby fostering business growth and the potential for future collaborations with local authorities and health partnerships.

## Notice

The Council invites proposals from qualified organisations to conduct a comprehensive Mental Health Needs Assessment (MHNA) for the Kent population of age 16+. The assessment aims to identify the mental health needs of the population, evaluate current service provision, and recommend strategies for improvement. This needs assessment will be essential for the whole system - the Integrated Care System (ICS), the local provider collaborative for mental health, Health Care Partnerships in the local authority (LA), the local health alliances (district footprint), and Public Health and social care in the Local Authority. The MHNA must be underpinned by good data and analysis (provided by the Kent Public Health. Observatory and other relevant bodies). While a range of quantitative and qualitative evidence should be used to assess these needs, available data sources are largely historical and are therefore ineffective in fulfilling the requirement of assessing the future health and care needs of the population and do not account for the often-complex interplay between health and disease, the environment, behaviour, and systems.
