## Summary

NHS North East London Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for a counselling, therapy, and psychosocial service aimed at young people aged 16-25 who live or work in Hackney or the City of London. This service includes various forms of therapy, a Saturday drop-in service, and specialised support groups. The contract, which has a value of £635,965 annually and totals £1,271,930 including a potential one-year extension, will run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2026. The formal contract award date is 14th March 2024, with a standstill period ending on 18th December 2024.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses that specialise in health services, particularly those offering counselling, psychotherapy, and community support programmes for young people. Organisations with expertise in providing services to LGBTQ+ groups and African Caribbean Heritage youths, as well as those capable of training and supervising professionals, would find this contract highly relevant. The existing provider, Off Centre, hosted by Family Action, is a well-suited supplier already meeting contract requirements satisfactorily, indicating that similar capable businesses might thrive under this procurement.
