The pandemic has shone a light on mental wellbeing, and ensuring our mental health policy fits with the evolving needs of the population is more important than ever as we continue to recover from the pandemic. A Centre for Innovation in Mental Health will aim to support a developmentally, emotionally, psychologically and socially flourishing Scotland. Working independently, the Centre will use its expertise to produce innovative and modern ideas for how to best support good mental health and wellbeing across the country. The Centre will draw on the insight and experiences of a range of community, academic and practice partners to generate fresh thinking and new approaches to improve mental health in Scotland. That will include highlighting evidence-based options that have not been fully implemented. The remit for the Centre will be broad. It will include structural factors which influence mental health and wellbeing, prevention, early intervention and service provision. The work of the Centre will be publicly available and will be considered as part of the Scottish Government's ongoing policy development. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB440286 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Feb 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £750,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 9 Feb 2022 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB440286 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB440286 Mental Health Centre for Innovation - The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the provision of a Mental Health Centre for Innovation.
