18/1016 Mental Health and Wellbeing Services

Moray Council has completed the procurement of the "18/1016 Mental Health and Wellbeing Services" contract, divided into two lots. This process involved the provision of mental health services across Moray, specifically targeting high-level community support for individuals aged 18-65 and lower-level community support for those aged 18 and above. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure and was categorised under general public services.

The tender was initiated on 16 October 2024, with key deadlines including the tender submission ending on 22 November 2024. The contracts were subsequently awarded and signed on 21 January 2025, marking the completion of this process. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health and wellbeing services.

Companies with capabilities in providing high-level community support, intensive recovery services, and lower-level community health support can greatly benefit from competing for such contracts. Large-scale service providers like SAMH, which were awarded the contracts for both lots, are prime examples of the types of businesses suited for this tender. Economic operators are encouraged to get involved in such public sector opportunities to expand their market presence and contribute to community health initiatives.

Notably, a strong focus on quality and cost-effectiveness, alongside compliance with regulatory standards, is crucial for success in these procurements.
