The contract period extends over two years, with an option for a one-year extension, and holds a total potential value of up to £330,000 over the maximum duration.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the health services sector, particularly those experienced in providing mental health support and BSL services. Organisations with expertise in delivering targeted therapies and managing uni-professional contexts are well-positioned to compete for this contract. The procurement process encourages interested parties to express interest and submit proposals through the Atamis e-tendering portal. Engaging in this process not only provides potential revenue from the substantial contract value but also allows successful bidders to contribute to improving accessibility and care quality for a vital community need.

## Notice

The NHS Long Term Plan (LTP, 2019) emphasises the ability of NHS Talking Therapies services to provide effective support for people with depression and anxiety disorders that can be managed effectively in a uni-professional context. As Talking Therapies services expanded there has been a need identified to increase access for people who are Deaf and use BSL. A service was commissioned by NHS England up until February 2025. Since then, ICBs are responsible for commissioning a service suitable to the needs of their local population. SEL ICB recognises the value of a BSL talking therapies provision to meet the needs of Deaf adults requiring support for anxiety and depression and now seeks to commission this service for the population of SEL with GPs in the boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. The commissioner is looking for a single provider, for period of two years from 1st July 2026, with the option of a one year extension. Interested organisations must express an interest and submit a tender via Atamis e-tendering portal by the deadline stated in the Invitation to Tender documents.
