The initiative, titled "Market Engagement - Provision of a Safe Space/Crisis Café In Brent By North West London CAMHS Provider Collaborative", falls under the community health services category, specifically targeting the provision of safe spaces for children and young people with mental health issues. This process is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement event planned for 13th April 2026. The service is proposed to be located in Brent, London, with the engagement scheduled to conclude on 10th April 2026. With a budget of £40,000, the project aims to provide an alternative to Accident and Emergency departments, operating 365 days a year. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those skilled in community health services, who are interested in collaborating to create supportive environments for young individuals facing mental health crises. Organisations specialising in non-clinical, crisis support services can leverage their expertise to deliver impactful solutions in alignment with the project’s objectives. Both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations that focus on community service can find this opportunity rewarding, although the focus on specialised crisis care experience is crucial. Engaging in this procurement could lead to potential growth and development opportunities within the framework of health and social care services in London. ## Notice The North West London CAMHS Provider Collaborative would like to invite interested parties to a market engagement event to find out about an exciting opportunity to provide a Children and Young People's Safe Space to support Children and Young People with mental health issues as an alternative to attending Accident and Emergency departments.
