Notice Title

Primary Care Primary Care Mental Health Services including IAPT steps 1, 2, 3 and 4

Notice Description

NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit are conducting this procurement on behalf of NHS St Helens Clinical Commissioning Group. The procurement requires Primary Care Primary Care Mental Health Services including IAPT steps 1, 2, 3 and 4. Most people with mental health problems are cared for by their GP with one in four GP consultations containing a mental health component. The CCG is committed to providing high quality, safe, treatment and care which is known to be effective and accessible. The CCG recognises that, to enable Primary Care Mental Health Services (PCMH) to successfully deliver expected outcomes and support the recovery of Service Users, services need to work together as a system to provide holistic care and treatment, identify any gaps in service provision and ensure that communication with Service Users, providers and commissioners is maintained. Mental health issues incorporate a potential myriad of social, interpersonal and psychological distress. On occasions, further interventions and support may be required, be it employment or debt advice or support following bereavement. During 2018- 19, the CCG and Local Authority have integrated to become St Helens Cares. This Integrated approach has been supported by the Kings Fund and Nationally recognised as good practice. GP forward View describes the development of GP localities into GP Hubs - which may commission and provide local based services for their population. They may do this a standalone practice from shared premises or GPs coming together /merging as larger practices. It will be a service that: * Is population-based, pro-active, preventative and vigilant in nature; * Offers support, secures enduring recovery, resilience and well-being for service users and carers; * Has GPs, as accountable clinicians, at its heart; * Brings together a robust, vibrant menu of services to wrap round the individual and improve their mental, physical and social resilience. These services will be delivered by the NHS, Local Authority and Voluntary Sector working together, providing an integrated offer to support GPs, their patients and carers. St Helens CCG will also act as a coordinating function, aligned with a wider network of other community-based services and providing seamless access to those services. St Helens CCG is governed by Cheshire and Merseyside Health Partnership. The CCG population is 197,184 and the estimated prevalence of Common Mental Health Disorders is 29,159 as reported by NHS England (CCG Planning Assurance Guidance). St. Helens has a high level of deprivation and unemployment, and we are a regional and national outlier for high incidence of suicide. There is a strong relationship between prevalence of recorded common mental health problems and deprivation of usual residence of patients. This service will need to deliver the nationally mandated targets set for IAPT. This contract will be required to deliver steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the IAPT service. Additional information: Closing date for requests to participate 24/7/19 13.00 Closing date for receipt of tenders 24/7/19 14.00 The contract duration shall be 3 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years.
