## Description
PIN – Parent Infant Relationship Mental Health Service (PIMHS)
Kent County Council (KCC) are anticipating procuring a Parent-Infant Mental Health Service (PIMHS)
KCC propose to begin mobilisation of the Service November 2025, with a Service Commencement date of May 2026.
The Service Contract is for 30 months, with a possible extension of 24 months.
Following several successful market engagement events, the Council wishes to share with interested parties revised information and commissioning plans for the PIMH service. Following the reflection and adaption of the previous offer, we are now seeking further views on the revised potential opportunity to ascertain the attractive to the market.

We are seeking an organisation that can provide and manage a Multidisciplinary team of Clinical psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Specialist Parent-Infant Mental Health Practitioners, Psychotherapists and mixed providers with clinical expertise who can bring a range of skills to help deliver this proposed new and ground breaking service for Kent. This proposed service for Kent will engage families, embedding support and helping them to form healthy relationships with their infant. Please refer to attached specification for more information.
Following market engagement we are sharing with interested parties the following: -
