## Summary

The Bath and North East Somerset Council is conducting a tender for the "Whole System Specialist Mental Health Care & Support" project, aimed at developing a comprehensive approach to mental health services in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the Light Touch Regime, allowing for flexible regulations, and is currently in the award stage, following the tender period which ended on 9 July 2021. This project has a total estimated value of £7 million and the contract period is set to start from 1 August 2021, lasting for seven years with the potential for a three-year extension.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those capable of providing integrated care solutions for individuals aged 18 to 64 with mental health challenges. Service providers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that offer specialist residential care, at-home support, and supported living services, would be well-positioned to collaborate on this initiative. Engaging in this procurement could facilitate partnerships among suppliers, enhancing their capacity to respond to the broader needs of the community.
