Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden Council has awarded a contract for a peer coaching pilot in the mental health crisis pathway, titled "Award of Contract Peer coaching pilot in the mental health crisis pathway." This procurement falls under the social work and related services category and is based in London, United Kingdom. The tender was awarded on 9 June 2021 and the contract period spans from 7 September 2021 to 31 March 2022, with a total contract value of £50,000. This initiative will be funded through NHS England Transformation funding for the 2021/22 period, and due to the ongoing challenges from the Covid-19 pandemic, a direct award was deemed necessary for practical reasons rather than a competitive process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in mental health services or community support. Companies that provide peer support, mental health services, or related training may find this project particularly relevant. Engaging with the London Borough of Camden Council will allow these businesses to contribute to a vital community initiative while also positioning themselves for future contracts associated with the wider recommissioning plan for the Resilience Network, which launches on 1 April 2022.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Award of Contract Peer coaching pilot in the mental health crisis pathway

Notice Description

This notice describes the direct award of a contract to Voiceability to provide a peer coaching pilot to support residents who have experienced a mental health crisis to move towards recovery in the community, and for officers to use the learning to develop a model that can be commissioned in the longer term. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the service was not fully operational until 7 September 2020, therefore commissioners are seeking to directly award a new contract for seven months from 1 September 2021 at a value of no more than PS50,000. This will ensure the service continues to be delivered and allow officers enough time to fully test the approach, considering the challenges implementing the pilot in 2020/21. It would also continue with the strategy, as part of the original award, to align itself with the wider recommissioning plan for the Resilience Network, a collaborative of mental health voluntary and community sector providers. The new Resilience Network offer will launch on 1 April 2022. Commissioners have NHS England Transformation funding available for 2021/22 to continue piloting this new approach to peer coaching in the mental health crisis pathway. Due to the short-term nature of the funding and the partnership approach required, a competitive process is neither practical nor desirable. Therefore, a waiver to Contract Standing Orders requirement for a quotation process is requested to directly award a further contract on the same general terms as the existing contract.
