Summary of the contracting process
Peterborough City Council has initiated a procurement process under the title "Support for Emotionally-Based School Avoidance (EBSA)," seeking services within the community health sector. The main goal of this contract is to enhance mental health services, particularly for children and young people and their families.
The contract, valued at £90,000, commenced on 1st October 2025 and is set to run until 1st July 2026, with an optional extension to 1st April 2027. The service provider will continue to be NESSie IN Ed CIC, having been awarded the contract through a direct award process under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
