Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, demonstrating their capacity to deliver tailored services that meet the community's mental health needs. As NWL CCG transitions to an Integrated Care Board, future contracts may emerge, further expanding opportunities for service providers in this field. ## Notice NWL CCG requires the provision of IAPT services in primary care settings in Hounslow borough.
