THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT. Shropshire Council is currently reviewing its future approach to universal mental health prevention and early-help support. As one part of this review, the Council wishes to understand the range of digital mental health prevention and emotional wellbeing models currently available, their evidence base, accessibility, affordability and potential applicability to Shropshire. This engagement does not indicate that the Council has decided to recommission a digital service. Findings will inform a wider options appraisal alongside local needs evidence, review of current provision, stakeholder engagement and consideration of alternative approaches. The overarching aim is to ensure that residents with low-level mental health or emerging wellbeing needs can access timely, appropriate support that helps prevent escalation into more complex need and reduces avoidable demand on statutory services. Digital support is being considered as part of a wider suite of accessible offers that may include social prescribing, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) provision and community-based support. Any future model will need to take account of Shropshire’s rurality and the diverse needs, preferences and circumstances of local residents, alongside local system priorities, strategies and policies. Strategic context Mental health and wellbeing are central to quality of life, resilience and the ability to participate in education, work, family life and communities. Good mental wellbeing is also protective against physical illness, social inequalities and unhealthy lifestyles. Demand for mental health support has increased significantly, particularly among children and young people, many of whom experience long waits for care. Nationally, around one in five people are affected by a common mental health condition, and a substantial proportion of mental health problems are established by early adulthood (age 24). This reinforces the importance of prevention and early intervention. Providing timely support for people with low-level mental health needs can help people manage distress earlier, maintain independence and stay connected to education, work, family life and their communities. The emerging national direction for mental health in England also places greater emphasis on shifting from crisis-led care towards prevention, delivering support at place and within communities, and embracing the opportunities offered by digital innovation. The future offer in Shropshire should therefore support earlier, proportionate and accessible help, while complementing wider local mental health, wellbeing and community support pathways. Current service context Shropshire Council currently commissions a digital mental health and emotional wellbeing offer for residents aged 16+, providing anonymous online access to moderated peer support, self-management resources and learning tools. The current arrangement provides a limited number of licenses annually. The Council is not necessarily seeking a like-for-like replacement through this engagement and is interested in understanding alternative digital models, approaches and innovations that could achieve preventative and early-help outcomes. The Council is interested in understanding features that; Are accessible without diagnosis or clinical referral Supports people experiencing emerging mental ill health or reduced emotional wellbeing Encourages self-management and early-help Provides safe onward escalation where necessary Is accessible across a large rural geography Can reach groups that may not engage with traditional services Is capable of generating meaningful information about reach, utilisation and outcomes to support review of impact and best value discussions

Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) are seeking providers within the local Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector to deliver the Better Care Fund (BCF) funded VCFSE Integrated Wellbeing Pathways service for adults aged 18+. The new model has been developed through engagement with VCFSE organisations and health and care partners and aims to provide a more integrated and person-centred approach to supporting local residents. The proposed contract term is 3 years, with the option to extend for a further two 1 year periods (3+1+1). The estimated annual contract value is up to £557,282.00 with a maximum potential contract value of £2,786,410.00 over the full contract term. The service will be delivered through two lots: Lot 1: Community Support and Development Annual Value: Approximately £285,282.00 Through predominantly home visits, this lot provides responsive and preventative support that helps individuals maintain independence while fostering stronger community capacity and connections.

Lot 2: Integrated Hospital Discharge and Neighbourhood Support Pathway Annual Value: Approximately £272,000.00 This lot will support safe and timely hospital discharge, helping people recover, remain independent, and avoid unnecessary readmissions through coordinated community and VCFSE support. Providers will be expected to: • Work in partnership with hospital, community, primary care and social care teams. • Support patient identification, discharge planning and same-day discharge where appropriate. • Coordinate rapid access to community, VCFSE and Personal Health Budget (PHB) support. • Deliver post-discharge follow-up to promote recovery and reduce readmissions. • Develop and coordinate neighbourhood-based VCFSE support services. • Identify gaps in provision and strengthen local community capacity and resilience. • Operate a responsive seven-day service model. What the service will deliver Across both lots, providers will work alongside people to help them: • Live independently and confidently for longer. • Improve their health, wellbeing and overall quality of life. • Stay well at home and avoid unnecessary hospital admissions or readmissions. • Access the right support at the right time, including safe and timely discharge from hospital. • Maintain independence and delay or avoid the need for long-term care and support. • Build meaningful connections, reduce isolation and strengthen support networks. Providers will need strong links with local communities and referral partners, experience of collaborative working, and the ability to share outcomes and performance. Successful providers for Lots 1 and 2 will be expected to work together to create a seamless pathway for residents. Recognising the expertise of providers, outcomes, key performance measures and indicators will be agreed collaboratively during mobilisation to ensure measures are meaningful, outcome-focused and reflect local priorities. The procurement opportunity is expected to be published in Early October 2026. We welcome submissions from individual organisations, partnerships, consortia, or lead provider/subcontractor arrangements.

Midland Heart is committed to ensuring that its homes, estates, and communal environments are safe, attractive, sustainable, and well-maintained for the benefit of our tenants, colleagues, and wider communities. Well-managed external and internal communal areas contribute significantly to tenant satisfaction, neighbourhood pride, health and wellbeing, and the overall perception of our services. To support the future procurement and delivery of grounds maintenance, communal cleaning, and associated estate services, Midland Heart is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake comprehensive surveys across approximately 100 sites to begin with, within our portfolio. The purpose of this contract is to establish a complete, accurate, and consistent baseline of information that will inform future service specifications, asset schedules, maintenance frequencies, budgeting, procurement activities, and contract management arrangements. The successful contractor will be required to survey all relevant external and internal communal areas at each site. The surveys shall include, but not be limited to: Grounds Maintenance: • Grassed areas and lawns; • Shrub beds and planted areas; • Bushes, hedges, and other soft landscaping features; • Hard landscaped and paved areas, including footpaths, access routes, parking areas, and other hard surfaces; • Minimal/ Biodiverse areas • Any additional grounds maintenance assets requiring routine maintenance; All surveyed assets shall be measured and recorded in square metres (m²) where applicable, with sufficient detail to support future service schedules and pricing exercises. The contractor shall also identify and record any overgrowth, unmanaged vegetation, fly-tipping, redundant landscaping features, damaged assets, health and safety concerns, or items that may require removal, including trees and other vegetation. Communal Cleaning: • Internal communal spaces including corridors, stairwells, entrance halls, lobbies, kitchens, laundry areas, internal bin stores, lifts, landings, and other shared areas; • Location of sockets for connection to deliver Window Cleaning: • For individual property windows and communal windows, include: the number of window spaces, window type, accessibility arrangements, and any access requirements for future cleaning or maintenance • Separating the data for individual and communal windows For each building, confirm the number of floors (ground floor is floor 1). We consider one window within the brick (counts as 1 window). Document for each site hard to reach windows (e.g. close road, restrictions to access), excessive glassed areas, conservatories, sky lights, wouldn't be accessible by a window cleaning pole and reach (e.g. flat roof in front of the window). The survey outputs should provide Midland Heart with a comprehensive understanding of each site's maintenance requirements and any opportunities to improve efficiency, sustainability, service quality, or value for money. The information collected should be presented in a clear and structured format that can be readily used for future tendering and operational management purposes. We are seeking a partner who will approach this project collaboratively and professionally, recognising the importance of accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail. The survey findings will form a critical component of future service procurements and must therefore be robust, reliable, and fully auditable. We are looking for providers that can: • Deliver comprehensive and accurate surveys across a diverse property portfolio; • Apply a consistent surveying methodology across all locations; • Capture detailed measurements and asset information sufficient for future service specification and pricing; • Identify maintenance requirements, defects, overgrowth, and assets requiring removal or replacement; • Produce accurate site plans, schedules, photographs, and supporting documentation where required; • Maintain proactive and responsive communication throughout the contract; • Deliver high standards of quality assurance and data validation; • Work collaboratively with Midland Heart colleagues to resolve queries and validate survey findings. The contractor shall provide a detailed mobilisation plan and programme of works, clearly setting out how surveys will be delivered across the portfolio. A realistic and achievable timetable shall be agreed with Midland Heart at contract commencement, with regular progress reporting throughout the survey programme to ensure delivery against agreed milestones and completion dates. We expect the successful contractor to deploy suitably qualified, competent, and experienced personnel to undertake the surveys. Surveyors should possess relevant professional qualifications and/or demonstrable experience in grounds maintenance, arboriculture, landscaping, estate management, building surveying, or related disciplines appropriate to the survey requirements. The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all personnel are adequately trained, comply with health and safety legislation, and can undertake surveys safely, professionally, and consistently across all sites. This contract will be underpinned by a collaborative "One Team" approach, with close working relationships between Midland Heart and the appointed contractor. We anticipate regular communication at both operational and strategic levels to ensure survey quality, timely issue resolution, and successful delivery of the programme. The overall objective is to provide Midland Heart with a complete, accurate, and auditable record of all relevant external and internal communal assets and maintenance requirements across the portfolio, enabling the organisation to procure future contracts with confidence and continue delivering safe, attractive, and well-maintained environments for tenants and communities.
