Notice Information

Notice Title

Community Connectors for Frimley CCG

Notice Description

Frimley ICS was successfully awarded funding from NHS England to be one of 12 national early implementer sites to deliver Community Mental Health transformation. This has enabled the design and implementation of integrated primary and community mental health care for adults and older adults with significant mental illness (SMI), built around Primary Care Networks (PCN)s, so that more patients with SMI are effectively supported in primary care. As part of the ICS-wide Community Mental Health Transformation programme, each of the nine Primary Care Network's across East Berkshire will have their own dedicated Mental Health Integrated Community Service (MHICS) Team. MHICS offers a service to patients in primary care with significant mental health difficulties who have not met the criteria for, or whose needs are not met by existing primary and secondary care mental health services. Flow into the MHICS service is mainly from primary care, but also for patients stepping down from secondary care. To meet national requirements for integrated partnership-working between primary care and the local VCSE sector to support people holistically in local communities whilst addressing wider determinants of mental ill-health, the CCG is looking to commission a number of Community Connector roles employed by voluntary sector partner organisations to work with the MHICS teams across East Berkshire. Please see full outline service description in the attached document Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but is instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).
