Notice Title
Mental Health Crisis Housing Provision
Notice Description
Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trusts require a partner to provide a Mental Health Crisis Housing service. The aim is to provide an alternative and supporting environment for adults in emotional and/or psychological distress due to the onset of or existing mental illness whose ordinary place of residence may contain elements that are over-stressing or simply not conductive to recovery at the time of crisis. Provision will work to the recovery approach which is a personal individual process of overcoming the negative impact of a mental health episode. Service users will continue with their care under the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment team (CRHT) during their stay. The Crisis House service will actively support service users throughout their stay in managing their risk and care plans developed by the CRHT, operating an active 24/7 provision. The current service does not require the provider to deliver any clinical or therapeutic interventions it is therefore assumed any future procurement of this service would fall under the scope of the Procurement Act 2023 legislation as opposed to the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. The Authority is, however, using this pre-market engagement (PME) stage as a fact-finding process to help us understand the market, capabilities, and nature of the service, which is critical for choosing the correct procurement route. For the avoidance of doubt this is not a call for competition. The Authority reserves the right to abandon this procurement and/or change the procurement route as a result of the conclusions of the PME responses and any subsequent changes to our existing specification.
