The provider must also support funded organisations through capacity building and volunteer development, and evaluate and report on outcomes from community mental health and wellbeing projects. The service is for projects across Lincolnshire. United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust acts as the procurement agent. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. This is a single-lot service contract. The enquiry deadline was 1 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The stated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with options to extend for two further one-year periods, up to 31 March 2030. The estimated value is £414,000 excluding VAT (£496,800 including VAT). The intended award decision date is 10 December 2026. Evaluation is weighted 80% quality, 10% social value and 10% price. Economic and technical selection criteria are set out in the Supplier Information Questionnaire. The requirement suits organisations experienced in administering grant funds and supporting community-based mental health and wellbeing work. Suppliers need the operational capability to run application and award processes, conduct due diligence, maintain sound governance, monitor funding and produce financial and performance reporting.
