The programme is a collaboration between Thrive LDN (Healthy London Partnership) and Mental Health First Aid England, supported by funding from the Mayor of London through the Young Londoners Fund.

We envision the evaluation partner(s) to deliver annual interim reports, with a final evaluation report delivered in March 2022.

The methodology used can be defined by the provider. However, Thrive LDN strongly values participation and we would expect the methodology proposed to involve both school staff and students in delivery.

The total contract value should not exceed £50,000 per annum. The total contract value over the 3 years is £150,000.

The contracting authority is NHS Lambeth CCG but the contract will be managed by Healthy London Partnership (HLP).
