Notice Title

Provision of Mental Health Support Services at Oakwood Hall, Leeds

Notice Description

Provision of mental health support services at Oakwood Hall, Leeds.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The provision of mental health support services at Oakwood Hall, Leeds. Oakwood Hall is a twelve-bed dual registered nursing and residential care home for people whose mental health needs cannot be satisfactorily met from other services. The service provides recovery focused, responsive care and support focusing on therapeutic engagement, meaningful daily activity and the opportunity to make positive change in the behaviours that have led to being excluded from other services.

Options: The contract may be extended for an additional period of up to 12 months in any combination.

Procurement Information

It is considered the above ground applies in this case as there is strong evidence that no reasonable alternative to Community Links (Northern) Ltd providing the service exists for the following reasons: A wider review of Community Based Mental Health services is being undertaken in conjunction with the ICB in Leeds. These services are required to maintain continuity of service whilst the Council and ICB partners complete a review of community based mental health provision, anticipated to conclude during 2024. The review includes these services amongst others, with the objective to re-commission remodelled services and explore budget pooling and longer-term recommissioning options. As an NHS body, the ICB in Leeds has to adhere to certain statutory guidance around conducting engagement as part of any potential change to service provision. The process must therefore be undertaken within the required statutory time period of six months, which we must allow time for within the process. The Council is committed to working collaboratively with the ICB in Leeds, as mandated by the NHS Long Term Plan and the Leeds Mental Health Strategy. On that basis, we are undertaking a joint review of services, which are jointly funded. Procuring solely the Council-funded element of a jointly funded service is not an available option for us as part of the wider joint review and is not aligned to ICB in Leeds health priorities as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. Community Links (Northern) Ltd has provided the services at Oakwood Hall for a period in excess of twenty years. We must therefore work with them to inform and shape the new service provision. If they were not involved in the review, then the quality of the outcome of the review would be diminished. Maintaining service continuity will therefore be a requirement of the service review. Undertaking a competitive procurement exercise whilst the review work is being undertaken would also be disruptive to the lives of very vulnerable service users who can be unsettled by change of any type, least of all the provider delivering their care and support changing. Having a change of provider for a short period could also result in a potential loss of knowledgeable staff and incur additional financial cost.
