The notice pertains to an intention to award a contract to Kooth Digital Health Limited, focusing on delivering online emotional well-being and counselling services for children and young people in South East London. The procurement stage is at 'award', following a limited procurement method, characterised by an award procedure without prior publication of competition. The standstill period starts on 4 March 2026, and representations must be made by 13 March 2026. The contract, valued at £1,135,000 including VAT, is set to run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, contingent on the absence of representations needing resolution during the standstill period. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in digital health solutions to engage with public sector procurement, specifically those offering innovative, scalable, and low-barrier access models suitable for early intervention in mental health services. Given the emphasis on flexible service provision outside typical operating hours and the target demographic of young people across SEL boroughs, companies with expertise in digital platforms for health support and those capable of ensuring robust engagement with diverse communities would find themselves well-positioned to benefit. The continuation of service provision aligns with local priorities, giving relevant businesses the chance to contribute enduring solutions in mental health care provision. ## Notice Kooth has delivered the South East London online emotional wellbeing and counselling service for children and young people effectively over the past three years, demonstrating strong coverage, flexibility, and alignment with local priorities for prevention, early intervention, and equitable access. The service continues to meet key performance indicators and receives positive feedback from service users. Its low-barrier digital model provides timely support and achieves strong engagement from global majority groups. As the only universal digital early intervention offer available across all SEL boroughs, Kooth provides flexible, out-of-hours access at scale. Maintaining continuity ensures ongoing choice for young people, particularly those who find it challenging to engage with traditional services, and helps prevent escalation into higher-cost, more intensive provision. The lifetime value of the contract is PS1,135,000 (including VAT, annual value), with a contract start date of 1 April 2026 and an end date of 31 March 2028 (2 years). This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
