## Summary

Pembrokeshire County Council intends to buy a psychological therapy support service for children and young people in Pembrokeshire. The service is expected to provide case formulation, assessments, training and development, and psychological interventions. The contract is described as purchasing an allocation of service time. The council is shaping the future service through a planned market engagement event, which will also cover a separate Therapy Framework. The procurement is for health and social care services, rather than goods or construction work. Suppliers with experience delivering psychological support to children and young people in the area are the most directly relevant. The listed delivery area is Pembrokeshire.

This is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish a further notice around 1 February 2027. The planned contract period runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with a possible extension to 30 June 2031. The estimated value is £800,000 excluding VAT (£960,000 including VAT). The procurement is arranged as one lot. Pembrokeshire County Council planned an in-person market engagement event at County Hall, Haverfordwest, on 26 November 2026, from 10am to noon; organisations intending to attend were asked to provide their details by 16 November 2026. This engagement is intended to inform the service design.

The council has identified the service areas it expects to purchase: case formulation, assessments, training and development, and psychological interventions for children and young people. Suppliers able to deliver this breadth of psychological support are therefore well placed to contribute to the service design and prepare for the later competition. The contract is described as a purchase of time, so providers should consider whether they can supply staff capacity across the required activities over a multi-year service period. The council marks the single lot as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that participation is not limited to large commercial providers. The market engagement is also being held alongside discussion of a Therapy Framework, offering relevant providers a chance to share input on both planned services.
