This tender is currently at the award stage, with the contract having been awarded to The Anna Freud Centre. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the applicable industry category is research and development services, specifically related to mental health interventions. The tender was published on 7 March 2017, with the deadline for expressions of interest having been 24 March 2017. The contract period spans from 16 May 2017 to 30 June 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in research and development, especially those that have expertise in mental health and educational interventions. Suitable candidates might include small and medium enterprises (SMEs), voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can form consortia to showcase a robust capacity to deliver the required evaluations and develop sound interventions. By participating in such projects, businesses can enhance their reputation, gain valuable experience in public sector contracts, and contribute to the vital area of mental health support for children and young people. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought for a supplier to deliver an evaluation programme of randomised control trials of school-based interventions to promote the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. The supplier will be required to recruit and engage with schools, develop interventions and coordinate their delivery, coordinate and deliver teacher and instructor training, and undertake impact and process evaluations of the interventions, selecting appropriate outcome measures and facilitating data collection in schools. The programme will initially comprise two multi-arm trials, however the contract will be let in order to allow for additional trials of mental health promotion and support activity to be added in the future as required by DfE. Expressions of interest will be assessed on the basis of capability and capacity to deliver these two specified trials as well as potential future trials of other school-based interventions. Due to the range of expertise and capacity required for this contract, organisations and individuals may consider the possibility of forming consortia in order to meet DfE's requirements.
