The service will provide a visible, welcoming and accessible local mental health hub. Its purpose is to bring care closer to home, strengthen prevention and early intervention, improve continuity of care, and integrate mental health services with primary care, local authority services and community organisations. The work covers community health, counselling, guidance and community action services. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is managing the procurement through North West London Procurement Services, which supports NHS trusts within the North West London Integrated Care System. Delivery is in Westminster, London. This is a planned procurement at the market-engagement stage; it is not yet an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an above-threshold open procedure under the light-touch regime. The estimated value is £800,000 including gross value, for one planned lot. Market engagement is scheduled to be completed quickly, with expressions of interest requested by 21 August 2026. The buyer expects the next notice on 12 October 2026, enquiries to close on 28 October 2026 and tender submissions to close on 12 November 2026 at 12 noon. The expected award decision date is 4 January 2027. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032. Economic and technical selection criteria remain to be determined through market engagement. The planned service is likely to suit established VCSE organisations with practical experience delivering community mental health, counselling, guidance or related support in Westminster or the wider North West London area. Relevant providers should be able to operate an accessible, welcoming mental health hub and support prevention, early intervention and continuity of care. The buyer is looking for services that can work effectively across NHS mental health provision, primary care, local authority services and community organisations, so partnership working and coordinated delivery will be important. Organisations able to demonstrate community reach, inclusive engagement with residents and the operational capacity to sustain an integrated service should prepare for the future procurement. Market engagement offers an early opportunity to understand the emerging requirements and inform the proposed service model. ## Notice PA23 LTR to procure VCSE services to assist in delivering a Neighbourhood Mental Health Centre, providing a visible, welcoming and accessible mental health hub for Westminster residents.
