The primary location for service delivery is the UKK30 region, specifically Cornwall. This procurement process, which was initiated on 12 March 2026, followed the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award A, under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, meaning it falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Businesses adept in creating pathways for employment and social inclusion, especially those engaging individuals furthest from the labour market, are encouraged to explore opportunities within similar tenders. Companies capable of offering services that empower individuals to self-manage mental health challenges and transition from dependency to employability may find this domain ripe for partnerships and projects in collaboration with statutory and non-statutory organisations.
