This opportunity is best suited to organisations that are adept at providing comprehensive psychiatric care and can handle services on a cost-per-case basis, which includes managing variable activity levels and payments based on actual service delivery. Companies with experience in similar health service subcontracts may find beneficial partnerships in subsequent or complementary tendering activities.
