Prior Information Notice: Market Engagement – proposed Children and Young People’s Therapeutic Support Service
** This advert is for market engagement only **
This Prior Information Notice is to invite providers to an online market engagement event on Wednesday 12th February, 15.00 – 16.00 for a proposed Therapeutic Support Service under the Procurement Act 2023.
The proposed Therapeutic Support Service would support children and young people aged 4-19 who have mild/moderate emotional wellbeing needs. This means children and young who may need support with difficulties such as:
• Nervousness or anxiety
• Difficulty concentrating
• Difficultly sleeping
• Avoiding school or activities
• Feeling low and not good about themselves
• Not wanting to be with friends or family.
To complement our recent Public Consultation, we would like to meet with providers to discuss an overview of our proposed service model .
We are proposing that this service will be closely aligned with the proposed Therapeutic Alliance, being commissioned by NHS Kent and Medway (Kent Children & Young People’s Therapeutic Alliance Market Engagement - Find a Tender), to support children and young people with predominantly moderate emotional wellbeing and mental health needs.
We would like to invite providers to an initial online market engagement event, to be held on
