Description
The Isle of Wight Council ("the Authority") invites Tenders from suitably qualified suppliers ("Potential Suppliers") for the provision of Mental Health Training on the Isle of Wight.
This procurement follows the Open under the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Authority is committed to ensuring their workforce is competent and confident to carry out their responsibilities to both support adults at risk (including its workforce) and is also committed to promoting the mental wellbeing of Isle of Wight residents and expect all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment.
The Authority wants to engage with a supplier that has extensive experience of the delivery of mental health learning & development activities (including Mental Health First Aid and Suicide Prevention).
These activities are offered to a range of learners who are all Isle of Wight based, and therefore the successful supplier is required to be able to provide face to face activities at various locations on the Isle of Wight. This can be at either at an Authority venue or the supplier's venue with the agreement of the Authority. Additionally, the Authority may request that specific venues are used for delivery of the activities such as a particular Authority building; residential care environment; or in a school environment. However, the Authority is also currently supporting virtual delivery and blended approaches therefore the supplier should also have the ability to provide virtual delivery of any or all of the activities.
This opportunity is described below:
The current programme includes but is not limited to the following key areas:
• ½ day Mental Health Awareness
• ½ day Mental Health Awareness for Managers
• 2 day Mental Health First Aid Certificate (Nationally accredited)
• 1 day Suicide Prevention First Aid Certificate (Nationally accredited)
• Mental Health First Aid (Adult) Refresher
• Youth Mental Health First Aid (for educational settings) (Nationally accredited)
Please note that the above courses are an indication of the types of courses run in the past. The Authority may wish to commission other mental health training as further need is identified.
The successful supplier will need to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of national legal frameworks, as well as policies and procedures as accredited providers of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention First Aid certification.
Please note that the Authority requires Learning activities to be aimed at a variety of levels when providing the services.
Potential suppliers should note that this is a non-exclusive contract and that there is no guarantee of value or volume of activities. However, it is intended that the successful supplier will receive all the requests for these learning activities from the Authority throughout the duration of the contract at the agreed pricing structure submitted within this tender unless the supplier is unable to provide the services at the required time/level or the
