Tees Valley Mental Health Training Hub

The Tees Valley Mental Health Training Hub procurement process is currently in the planning stage, primarily involving Stockton on Tees Borough Council, with collaborations from Middlesbrough Council and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council. This initiative focuses on the creation of a dedicated training hub aimed at enhancing mental health awareness and suicide prevention across regions UKC11 and UKC12 in the United Kingdom. Notably, this procurement falls under the services category, specifically in the health and social work services industry, with an anticipation for a formal market engagement on 19th November 2025.

Interested suppliers are encouraged to confirm their participation by 14th November 2025 through a published questionnaire. The service, forming a significant part of the broader Tees Suicide Prevention Implementation Plan, is set to commence from 1st April 2026 with a potential extension till 2029. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health training and community resilience, particularly those small and medium organisations already engaged in mental health services.

The procurement process is specifically crafted to support the light touch regime, allowing eligible VCSE (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) to participate effectively. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive mental health training aimed at both preventive measures and support across community levels would find this tender particularly beneficial. By engaging in this process, businesses can significantly contribute to workforce capacity building in mental health promotion and suicide prevention while growing their influence and establishing a foothold in public sector procurements within the Tees Valley region.
