## Summary

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned suicide alertness training for residents as part of its Orange Button Scheme. The work covers delivery of the training programme, course administration and management of bookings through an electronic booking portal. It is a specialist health-training service intended to build residents’ ability to recognise and respond to suicide risk. The council is based in Solihull; the source data does not identify a separate delivery location. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a set of distinct lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Every Life Matters. The council used a limited competition below the relevant threshold. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £48,600 including gross value as stated. The available award information does not provide a separate evaluation formula or criteria. Contract performance includes a target for at least 90% of planned training places to be attended each quarter, with a minimum of 16 participants completing training.

This award shows demand from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council for a supplier able to deliver suicide alertness training to residents and handle the supporting administration, including course bookings through an electronic portal. A credible competitor would need relevant health-training expertise, the ability to organise and deliver courses reliably, and the systems and capacity to manage participant bookings and attendance. Delivery would also need to sustain quarterly attendance against planned places while achieving a minimum number of course completions. The award to Every Life Matters, a small voluntary and community organisation, shows that this requirement has been delivered by a supplier of that type; it does not establish that a particular organisational status is required.
