Their programmes reflect the latest evidence-based principles and best practice and have been extensively peer-reviewed by international experts in mental health, people with lived experience, practitioners and third sector (NGO) experts. As part of our MHCB overarching improvement plan, we have been utilising the 4MentalHealth training programme for the past 2 years and have over 300 individuals trained in this methodology across all professions. We are now a licenced organisation and are therefore able to utilise our own staff as trainers. Following successful completion of an extensive pilot, we are now expanding our team of trainers from 6 to 10 utilising GBP-19140 from our HEIW MH workforce development fund allocation. This has been approved by HEIW and is being replicated in other UHBâs. If we were to utilise another provider, there would be huge negative consequences â financially, operationally and strategically. Prior to initiating this programme, a number of providers were evaluated however none had the scope or expertise to offer training at such a high standard as 4Mental Health.

While other suppliers exist, transitioning to a new provider would require significant time and resource to reach the same level of effectiveness, with potential risks to service quality and delivery.\r\n This approach supports stability, avoids unnecessary costs, and ensures ongoing value for money, making the negotiated procedure without prior publication appropriate and proportionate in this case.",
