VCSE Led Mental Health Recovery and Prevention Services

What this is

Kent County Council is running early market and stakeholder engagement for the future VCSE Led Mental Health Recovery and Prevention Services (currently known as Live Well Kent and Medway). The services aim to aid recovery, prevent relapse, improve outcomes for people with poor mental health, prevent suicide, reduce stigma and delay the need for higher-level care, predominantly for people aged 17+. This is not a call for competition but engagement to gather insight through four virtual sessions in April 2026. Interested VCSE organisations must register via the online form by midday on 16 April 2026.
