Supplier to deliver an evaluation programme of randomised control trials of school-based interventions to promote and support the mental health of children and young people

Tender description

See 'Attachments' for a full description and further information. The Department for Education (DfE) will tender a contract to deliver an evaluation programme, involving randomised control trials of school-based interventions to promote and support the mental health of children and young people. We envisage the initial contract will cover a suite of programmes and approaches. The contracted supplier will have capacity to design and deliver further trials and evaluations of school-based mental health interventions beyond this initial suite, should the department require this. Due to the range of expertise and capacity required, we envisage that the supplier may be a consortium of organisations and individuals. We intend to issue a call for expressions of interest on Friday 3 March 2017, with a deadline of 24th March. Those not registered as DfE suppliers should complete the supplier registration form before 3 March 2017 to receive a notification of the call for expressions of interest (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education/about/research).
