Health NZ will be seeking local providers to establish a new Youth Hub in each of the three locations, Hamilton, Nelson and Hawke’s Bay, to improve access to youth-focused mental health and addiction support.
The hubs will provide peer-led, youth-friendly environments for young people aged 16–25 years. They are intended to act as coordinated access points that strengthen connections across existing mental health and addiction services, making it easier for young people to access the right support at the right time.
A key feature of the hubs is the introduction and strengthening of peer workforce roles, supporting early intervention, and improving service navigation. The hubs are designed to enhance coordination and integration across the existing service system, complementing existing services rather than creating parallel service delivery models.
The intention is to run an open RFP (Request for Proposal) process. When the process commences, potential respondents will be able to submit an application that demonstrates how their proposals meet the criteria of the RFP.
Indicative timeframe: The full submission criteria and RFP process will be published on GETS in August 2026.
Note: This is a Future Procurement Opportunity (FPO). It is an alert to providers of a potential upcoming procurement activity. It does not represent a commitment by Health NZ to procure.
When the RFP is live, interested stakeholders will only be able to ask questions via GETS and answers will only be published via GETS. The RFP will provide information about how providers can ask questions.
