This is a health and social care service intended to support this age group through mental health needs and transitions. Delivery is planned across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The buyer has invited providers from the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, the NHS and independent providers to engage with its plans for the future service. This process is at the planning stage: the ICB has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The ICB plans to use provider engagement to share its emerging service model, commissioning intentions and proposed procurement approach, and gather feedback from potential providers. A virtual engagement event is planned for 22 October 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30; interested providers can register through the event link. The procurement itself remains at planning stage, so this is not an invitation to tender. The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 1 April 2030. The stated estimated value is above the relevant threshold, but no monetary figure is provided. The service is presented as a single lot. No procurement procedure, supplier eligibility conditions or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage. This early engagement is relevant to VCSE, NHS and independent-sector providers with the capability to deliver mental health support and transition services for people aged 16 to 25 across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Providers with experience supporting young people through mental health needs and transitions may be well placed to contribute practical feedback on the emerging service model and commissioning intentions. The buyer is seeking views from potential providers before the procurement approach is settled, giving organisations in these sectors an opportunity to inform planning and prepare for the future service. The planned service spans three years, so providers should consider whether they can sustain delivery across the full contract period. The engagement description does not identify specific professional accreditations, staffing requirements or minimum capacity thresholds. ## Notice Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB) is inviting providers from the voluntary, community, social enterprise (VCSE), NHS and independent sectors to attend a provider engagement event regarding the future provision of a 16-25 Mental Health Support and Transition Service.
