## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Department of Health, involves an independent review of the Mental Health Act through a working group providing expert consultancy services, specifically identified as evaluation consultancy services (CPV code: 79419000). The tender, designated as PSBC 8244, was awarded on 5 November 2017 for a contract valued at £31,200, with a contract period extending from 6 November 2017 to 5 November 2018. The procurement was undertaken via a direct method, classified as a single tender action below the threshold, with the procurement process fully completed by April 2018. The geographical coverage includes the United Kingdom and additional territories such as the British Overseas Territories and Channel Islands.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in evaluation consultancy, particularly those specialising in health and social work services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts given the focus on expertise in mental health. Businesses looking to expand their consultancy services in public health would find this area ripe for growth, especially those capable of providing evidence-based recommendations and engaging effectively with stakeholders in the mental health sector.
