Description

Expressions of interest are sought for a supplier to deliver an evaluation programme of randomised control trials of school-based interventions to promote the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. The supplier will be required to recruit and engage with schools, develop interventions and coordinate their delivery, coordinate and deliver teacher and instructor training, and undertake impact and process evaluations of the interventions, selecting appropriate outcome measures and facilitating data collection in schools. The programme will initially comprise two multi-arm trials, however the contract will be let in order to allow for additional trials of mental health promotion and support activity to be added in the future as required by DfE. Expressions of interest will be assessed on the basis of capability and capacity to deliver these two specified trials as well as potential future trials of other school-based interventions. Due to the range of expertise and capacity required for this contract, organisations and individuals may consider the possibility of forming consortia in order to meet DfE's requirements.
