## Summary

The procurement process involves Leicestershire County Council, which has awarded a contract titled "Wellbeing for Education Return (WfER)" aimed at providing support for mental health and wellbeing in educational settings. This initiative falls under the "Health and social work services" category and relates to addressing the needs of children and young people as they return to schools and colleges in England. The contract, amounting to £86,000, was awarded on 11 September 2020, with the contract period running from 14 September 2020 to 13 July 2021. The procurement method utilised was a direct award, and the tender process is now complete.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on providing mental health training and educational support services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that specialise in training educators to manage mental health issues and wellbeing effectively would be particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging with this contract could help these businesses expand their clientele in the education sector while contributing positively to the wellbeing of students and staff in schools and colleges.

## Notice

When schools and colleges return for the Autumn term, children and young people may present with a range of mental health and wellbeing issues. Teachers and education staff will need to be able to recognise, understand and respond appropriately. To support them, the DfE has developed the Wellbeing for Education Return, a support offer of both training and ongoing help until March 2021. The award of this contract has been split between secondary and primary schools to give a more rounded offer to each setting.
