This initiative focuses on providing targeted mental health and wellbeing community services in the City and Hackney area, with a particular emphasis on preventing and addressing mental health issues in under-served communities, such as Young Black Men and the LGBTQ+ population. The engagement end date for this procurement process is scheduled for 28 November 2019, and the associated services relate to social work and health services, classified under the CPV code 85300000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the health and social care sectors, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in mental health services, community outreach, and tailored support for vulnerable groups would be well-suited to participate. The procurement aims to support innovative ideas and solutions for improving access and service delivery, enabling successful bidders to contribute meaningfully to community wellbeing while potentially expanding their service offerings in the sector. ## Notice Provision of targeted Public Mental Health and Wellbeing community services across City and Hackney to prevent the development of mental ill health or worsening of existing mental health problems, including services for under-served communities e.g. Young Black Men (YBM) and LGBTQ+. London Borough of Hackney and City of London, as an integrated commissioning board, are transforming the way we address the mental health and well-being needs of working age adults who are resident in Hackney and the City of London. For the last four years, this has been delivered through the City and Hackney Well-Being Network, a group of services led by Mind in the City, Hackney & Waltham Forest, Bikur Cholim and comprising Centre for Better Health, Core Arts, Derman, Shoreditch Trust and Vietnamese Mental Health Service. As the current service contract comes to an end in February 2021, we are focusing on designing a service that takes account of changes that have occurred across local mental health and well-being provision since the Network launched and improving access for groups that are under-served. We are looking for new ideas to provide services that address the needs of the following groups: Selective - For groups we have identified are at higher risk of developing mental ill health e.g. YBM, LGBTQ+, either through vulnerability, exposure to adversity or through poor access or use of services. Indicated - For those who already have signs of mental ill health, including those discharged from secondary care, to promote recovery and prevent relapse. We are inviting respondents to complete the following questions. If selected, we will then offer up to 1 hour 1:1 sessions with a small team of commissioners and clinicians to hear your ideas and to help us design services for the future. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9510a6f2-77c2-4c14-943a-d0622af4218b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Nov 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF HACKNEY | | Locality | HACKNEY | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E8 1DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Hackney | | Electoral ward | Hackney Central | | Westminster constituency | Hackney South and Shoreditch | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 15 Nov 2019 at 12:43 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9510a6f2-77c2-4c14-943a-d0622af4218b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9510a6f2-77c2-4c14-943a-d0622af4218b 15th November 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=41a2396b-a007-ea11-80fb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.hackney.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
