CO2330_CYP Emotional Wellbeing_Market Engagement

Description

Wiltshire Council is seeking to engage with organisations operating within the children and young people emotional wellbeing sector to help inform the future design and commissioning of emotional wellbeing support across Wiltshire. The Council is undertaking a period of pre-procurement market engagement to better understand current market capability, emerging best practice, innovative delivery models and potential approaches to service delivery for children and young people. This engagement will explore how emotional wellbeing services can support prevention, early intervention and access to appropriate support, whilst integrating effectively with wider systems including education, health, community and voluntary sector services. At this stage, no final service model, contract structure, procurement route or contract value has been determined. Wiltshire Council is keen to hear from a broad range of providers, including voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, charities, NHS organisations, independent providers and collaborative partnerships or consortiums. Engagement activity is expected to include market discussions and a follow-up questionnaire seeking provider insight on service design, outcomes, delivery models, affordability, innovation, collaboration opportunities and potential barriers to market participation. Feedback received will be used to help shape the Council's future commissioning intentions and any subsequent procurement activity. The Council welcomes views on what an effective emotional wellbeing service should look like for Wiltshire's children and young people, including approaches to self-referral, navigation and advice, counselling and therapeutic support, digital provision, community-based interventions, support for priority cohorts, and integration with wider emotional wellbeing and mental health pathways Participation in this market engagement exercise will not confer any advantage in any future procurement process, nor does it commit the Council to commence any procurement or award any contract.
