The service is a key part of Adult Social Care's (ASC) statutory and preventative approach to mental health. It helps people to remain independent and delays the need for more intensive intervention by providing personalised statutory support and connecting people to services and activities in their local communities. This not only improves outcomes for people receiving the support but enables the Council to effectively manage demand and associated costs. The service is open to adults aged 18 and over with poor mental health who are ordinarily resident in Cambridgeshire, with the goal of the service being to offer early intervention to adults to improve health and wellbeing and prevent escalation of issues. The service should include: * A statutory 1:1 service as set out in the specification * An open access complementary service * A cafe model, group activities and peer support service * Digital mental health support (24/7) - online support * Financial support ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: There are two optional available extensions of one year each. Whether the extension options are used depends on availability of funding, needs/requirements review and contract performance. ### Planning Information We have issued a series of questions and additional details on ProContract which can be found here: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e41af83c-41b6-f011-813a-005056b64545 We will collect the responses on the 14th November and decide upon any further actions based upon the responses received. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029734-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 7 May 2026 | | Future notice date | 14 Nov 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2026 - 31 Aug 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,477,978 | | Lots value | £4,477,978 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | ALCONBURY WEALD, HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE28 4YE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | The Stukeleys | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | TLH12 Cambridgeshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 31 Mar 2026 at 13:19 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029734-2026 - 31 Mar 2026 at 12:06 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029628-2026 - 31 Oct 2025 at 10:18 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069970-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029734-2026 31st March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029628-2026 31st March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069970-2025 31st October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e41af83c-41b6-f011-813a-005056b64545 - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=ea3edb62-3a92-eb11-810c-005056b64545&v=2 - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=ea3edb62-3a92-eb11-810c-005056b64545&v=21.Followtheabovelink2.Search"25090MentalHealthEarlyInterventionandPrevention"3.Registerinterestinthisopportunity4.Viewtenderdocumentsandcomplete"OpenProcedureQuestionnaire"5.Submitresponse - https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
