Kooth has delivered the South East London online emotional wellbeing and counselling service for children and young people effectively over the past three years, demonstrating strong coverage, flexibility, and alignment with local priorities for prevention, early intervention, and equitable access. The service continues to meet key performance indicators and receives positive feedback from service users. Its low-barrier digital model provides timely support and achieves strong engagement from global majority groups.
As the only universal digital early intervention offer available across all SEL boroughs, Kooth provides flexible, out-of-hours access at scale. Maintaining continuity ensures ongoing choice for young people, particularly those who find it challenging to engage with traditional services, and helps prevent escalation into higher-cost, more intensive provision.
The lifetime value of the contract is £1,135,000 (including VAT, annual value), with a contract start date of 1 April 2026 and an end date of 31 March 2028 (2 years).

Following the publication of the NHS 10 Year Plan, Bexley Place is driving forward with establishing a Neighbourhood Health Service in each of its three neighbourhoods. A fundamental component of a neighbourhood health service is to support residents with the wider determinants of health which have an impact on how they are able to manage their long term conditions.

• Frognal (Sidcup & Bexley)

There are approximately 26,000 people living in Bexley who have 3 or more long term conditions. North Bexley is the most culturally and economically diverse part of the borough, with 15,995 residents living in the lowest 20% deprivation decile - this is 15% of the North Bexley population. In the other parts of the borough, the number of residents living in the lowest 20% deprivation decile is 2,774, which is 2% of that population. People living in the most deprived 20% of Bexley have a shorter life expectancy than those living in the least deprived 20%. For females, the gap is 2.2 years, and for males the gap is 5.2 years.
Bexley Place seeks an established provider of voluntary services based in the London Borough of Bexley, with a proven track record in currently delivering social prescribing and peer support services.
