## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Men's Mental Health and Wellbeing Community Programme 2025-2027". This initiative aims to provide innovative mental health support for men aged 18 and over in Sandwell, aligning with the Council Plan 2024-27. The programme will include advice, peer support, and activities addressing mental health in community settings across Sandwell's six towns. The procurement followed an open competition below the Procurement Act 2023 threshold, conducted as a "light touch" regime. Notably, the contract runs for two years, from 7 August 2025 to 6 August 2027, with a value up to £160,000 (excluding VAT). Key information was shared during a public consultation in 2024, shaping the programme's design to overcome barriers to accessing mental health support. The contract was awarded to Ideal for All Limited, highlighting the focus on personal development training, welfare, and community action services. 

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for organisations with expertise in delivering mental health and community support services. Businesses that can align with the programme's objectives — focusing on awareness, behavioural change, and community connectivity — will find this contract appealing. Ideal candidates include SMEs and other entities capable of collaborative, borough-wide service delivery, equipped to meet diverse cultural, religious, and social needs within Sandwell's communities. The procurement offers a platform for suppliers to innovate and actively contribute to Sandwell's Public Health goals, particularly in mental health advocacy and stigma reduction efforts. The open procurement method presents a competitive landscape but ensures fair access to all capable suppliers interested in making a meaningful social impact.
