## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council is seeking digital support for children and young people's mental health through a three-year programme targeting secondary schools in Oxfordshire. The budget for the IT services procurement is £459,000, with an open procedure and a tender deadline of 31st October 2023. The contract period is from 1st December 2023 to 30th November 2026, providing an opportunity for businesses specializing in IT services and support to engage in this public procurement initiative.

The procurement process led by Oxfordshire County Council aims to address the rising demand for mental health services among children and young people exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the IT services industry to offer commercially available solutions to support mental health interventions in educational settings. Businesses adept at providing consulting, software development, and online support are well-suited to compete for this contract, which requires a vendor to deliver wrap-around support services alongside the digital mental health solution within the specified budget limits.
