This project aims to improve outcomes for children and young people by providing support outside NHS specialist mental health services. The Council is seeking input from the market to help shape any future contracts. Interested organizations must submit their Supplier Questionnaire and supporting documents through the In-Tend system by the return deadline of 12.00 Noon on 19th July 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services to engage with the Hertfordshire County Council. Organizations well-suited to compete are those offering alternative therapies for children and young people. By participating in this Pre-Procurement Market Engagement, businesses can provide valuable insights that will guide the Council's decision-making process for potential future procurement. The deadline for submission is 19th July 2023, and all queries should be directed to the Council's Strategic Procurement Group via email or telephone. ## Notice It is nationally recognised that by identifying and providing support to Children and Young People (CYP) as soon as difficulties emerge, outcomes are significantly improved. There is also a significant blind spot about support outside NHS specialist mental health services. While specialist mental health services are under pressure, it is vital that those planning and designing services understand what happens to the children and young people turned away from specialist services. This includes whether they are able to access alternative services or other forms of support outside the NHS, or whether they deteriorate to the point of needing more intensive care. Emerging evidence suggests that Complementary and Alternative Medicine can be beneficial for various mental health issues.
