This initiative falls under the Education and Training Services sector and aims to enhance cooperation between educational institutions and mental health services. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period is set to conclude on 18 January 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 1 June 2019 and last for an initial term of two years, potentially extending to a maximum of four years. The total anticipated contract value is £10.5 million, covering various delivery locations across the UK and beyond.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the education and mental health sectors to expand their services. Companies or consortia with expertise in children's mental health and the ability to foster collaboration between schools and health service providers will find this procurement particularly relevant. Suitable candidates may include training organisations, consultancy firms with a focus on health and education integration, and those experienced in developing training programmes tailored to mental health service delivery within educational settings.

## Notice

The Department for Education is seeking a provider, or consortium of providers, to deliver a national Mental Health Services and Schools & Colleges Link programme. Delivery will build on the 2015 joint NHS England and DfE Mental Health Services and Schools Link pilot (Phase 1), and the current Phase 2 which is ongoing until March 2019. The training is designed to improve communication and facilitate joined up working between schools/colleges and Mental Health services so that more children and young people get the help and support they need at the right time, in the right place and do not fall through the gaps or experience poor transition between services. Providers with an understanding of children and young people's mental health provision as well as an understanding of how schools/colleges support pupils' mental health and those with experience of facilitating joint working between health and education services may be interested in this opportunity. The service is made up of 2 core delivery elements: 1 - Recruit and manage CCGs, schools and colleges nationally from across England to take part in joint training workshops for named leads in schools and mental health services. 2 - Deliver a workshop training programme to schools and colleges in England based on the model delivered during the second phase of the programme. For full details on the service requirement and the set of workshop materials developed as part of the pilot, please refer to the tender documents available from https://education.bravosolution.co.uk. The DfE will be adopting a 2 stage 'Restricted' procurement process under the Light Touch Regime (regulation 74-77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015) for this opportunity. For details of the tendering process, evaluation criteria and timescales please refer to the tender documents. The contract period will be for an initial term of 2 years with an option to extend up to a further 2 years, taking the full contract term to a maximum of 4 years. The value of the contract will be a maximum of PS10.5m over the 4 years.
