Wakefield Advice and Support Project for Children & Young People - NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board

The Wakefield Advice and Support Project for Children & Young People, commissioned by the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, falls under the community health services sector. This awarded contract, valued at £809,584, spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2029, focusing on delivering mostly online support with face-to-face interactions when necessary. The contract process adheres to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, with the evaluation carried out by the Children and Young People's Senior Commissioning and Transformation Manager in Wakefield and final sign-off by the Assistant Director of Contracting based in Leeds.

This is a direct award using procedure C, thus bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specializing in online health services, especially those geared towards children and young people. By focusing on community health support, companies with expertise in digital healthcare solutions and experience in securing public sector contracts can position themselves as favourable candidates for future similar opportunities.

Organisations like small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that demonstrate a strong track record in delivering consistent and high-quality services to existing public health contracts, such as the supplier KIDS, are well-suited to compete in this space.
