Notice Title

Market Engagement: Proposed re-tender of the Mental Health Employment Service

Notice Description

The Council is proposing to re-tender the Mental Health Employment Support Service for Camden residents. The service will provide targeted support for people with severe and common mental ill health, to help them find and sustain competitive paid employment using an evidence-based Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model. This model has been recognised as the most effective way to support people with mental ill health to gain and keep paid employment. The model has two components: a high fidelity IPS model integrated with secondary care and an adapted IPS model integrated with primary care, Job Centre Plus, and self-referrals. The Service will deliver against Camden's Local Care Strategy outcomes for Community Resilience in Mental Health: I am able to take part in meaningful activities that promote wellbeing, such as education, training, volunteering and employment I am able to access targeted help when I need it to improve my mental and physical wellbeing and strengthen my recovery I know how to manage my own health better and how to get support when I need it. Please complete the attached market testing questionnaire and return to Morelda Nanton by 8th October 2021: morelda.nanton@camden.gov.uk Additional information: We would be grateful if responses to these questions could be submitted to Morelda Nanton, Commissioning Manager by 12.00pm, 8 October 2021. Responses should be sent by email to morelda.nanton@camden.gov.uk Following this market testing exercise, the Council expects to run a procurement exercise, subject to approval. Please note the questionnaire was revised and re published on 1st October 2021 with the indicative budget now reading as follows: The service will commence on or around 1 April 2022 for an initial contract term of five years with an option to extend for a further year. The annual contract value for the service will be PS500,000, which is made up of a block payment and outcomes-based payment of a maximum of PS150,000.
