The United Kingdom Sports Council is currently overseeing a tender for the "Mental Health Champion Training - High Performance System." This opportunity falls under the industry category of development consultancy services and is located in London, England. The procurement method employed is an open procedure (below threshold), with a tender period concluding on 22nd October 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health training services, development consultancy, and sport-related services. Companies capable of designing and delivering effective mental health training programmes, along with supervisory support, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the focus on developing a network of Mental Health Champions within the high-performance sports system, businesses should consider ways to leverage their expertise in mental health awareness and support systems to enhance their proposals for this contract.

## Notice

In October 2018 UK Sport designed and communicated a mental health strategy for the High Performance System, focused on 4 key pillars: (i) education, (ii) provision, (iii) communication and (iv) assurance. As of January 2019 a Mental Health Team, housed in the English Institute of Sport Limited (a subsidiary company of UK Sport), has been tasked with delivering on that mental health strategy. With regards to the education strand a sport specific mental health awareness workshop was developed that focused on understanding and talking about MH, looking after self and supporting others, and responding to real life concerns. This educational workshop has now been delivered to over 75% of the funded Olympic and Paralympic Sports in the High Performance system. Over the course of the next cycle (2020-2024) the education strand of the mental health strategy will focus on the development of a network of Mental Health Champions (within sports and centrally within the English Institute of Sport and UK Sport), which will build on the understanding from the mental health awareness workshops with enhanced knowledge, and application of core skills and competencies relating to mental health. The champions will not only receive an enhanced training programme, they will also benefit from ongoing supervision and support with reflections and best-practice sharing throughout the mental health champions network. UK Sport invites Tenders for the provision of developing and delivering an appropriate training programme for Mental Health Champions, and the ongoing supervisory support for Mental Health Champions post-training across the Olympic cycle (beginning January 2020). Mental Health Champion training will be provided for identified individuals from across the high performance system, including staff, athletes and stakeholders associated with each sport's World Class Programme (WCP), the English Institute of Sport (EIS) and UK Sport ("the Services") in accordance with this ITT and the attached document. Tenderers must register their expression of interest by emailing rebecca.cole@uksport.gov.uk by 16:30 on 08.10.2019 along with any clarification questions they may have in accordance with paragraph 8 of this ITT. Additional information: Tenderers must register their expression of interest by emailing rebecca.cole@uksport.gov.uk by 16:30 on 08.10.2019 along with any clarification questions they may have in accordance with paragraph 8 of this ITT.
