Legal Justification

Gender Dysphoria support is a relatively new area of specialist emotional and mental health support for young people. The psychological support market is developing to keep pace with the growing demand.

As such, Solent NHS Trust believe that Yellow Door are the only local organisation at this time with the experience and capability of supporting the delivery of Domestic Violence and Gender Dysphoria Support in children and young people across Southampton. It is Solent NHS Trust's intention therefore to award a contract to Yellow Door. The contract value is £30,000 per annum.All communications should be made via the email address provided.If any provider has concerns with the commissioning intentions outlined within the published documentation, please raise this via the email address provided in the first instance within 10 days of the date of this Notice.
