This process is classified under the industry category of education and training services, specifically catering to the mental health sector in England. Currently in the planning stage, the process will include a market engagement event scheduled for 1st December 2020, during which interested parties can learn about the procurement process and provide input. Prospective participants must confirm their attendance by 26th November 2020. The commissioner plans to publish the Invitation to Tender (ITT) in early January 2021, following an open procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in education and training, particularly those specialising in mental health services.
