This procurement falls under the education and training services category, with an estimated value of £370,000 and a minimum contract value of £250,000. The tender period concludes on 5 May 2017, and the contract is expected to commence on 5 June 2017, lasting until 31 March 2019. The project aims to support 100 schools or colleges and 10 community organisations in establishing peer support initiatives tailored to the mental health and emotional wellbeing needs of young people across various regions, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health support, training, or education services. Companies experienced in peer mentoring, educational programme development, or youth engagement would be particularly well-suited to participate. The open procurement process enables small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to compete, fostering an inclusive approach to addressing mental health challenges among young people in educational settings. ## Notice See 'Attachments' for full description. Peer support covers a wide range of activities, from a young person talking a friend through their problems, to more formal group or 1-to-1 settings. For peer support to be successful young people need to be able to get help, advice and support from knowledgeable peers without fear of stigma or judgement. We know that many schools, colleges and youth organisations already provide peer support schemes on a wide range of topics including friendships, academic support, transition and bullying, as well as some who offer peer support for mental health. We would like to identify how schools, colleges and youth organisations can go about setting up and delivering peer support programmes for mental health that are tailored to their individual needs and circumstances. This procurement is for a contractor to lead the recruitment, management and delivery of training and support to 100 schools or colleges and 10 community organisations for face-to-face peer support for children and young people's mental health and emotional wellbeing.
