York Community Mental Health Hub

The City of York Council has announced the intention to award a contract to York CVS for the establishment of the York Community Mental Health Hub. This project, falling under the Health Services category with a CPV code of 85100000, is set to begin in May 2025 and run through to 30th April 2027. The service will be located in the York region (UKE21), addressing public health needs through integrated care models.

The procurement process follows a limited method under the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, and the standstill period begins on 14 May 2025, with representation allowed until midnight on 23 May 2025. The contract's estimated value is £586,000, with quality and price being the primary evaluation criteria. This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those with expertise in communal service delivery, mental health support, and integration of health and wellbeing services.

The York Community Mental Health Hub aims to foster community cohesion and enhance mental health service accessibility, thus enabling businesses that specialise in partnership delivery and social enterprise operations to thrive. Businesses that can offer innovative, flexible, and person-centred health care solutions, especially those targeting underrepresented groups in mental health services, are ideally positioned to benefit from participation in this project. The initiative promotes social values including employment support, volunteer access, and crisis prevention, creating a strong foundation for economic and social contributions in York's community health space.
