In 2017 NHS England commissioned the veterans' mental health Transition Intervention and Liaison service (TIL) following publication of the engagement work in relation to veterans mental health services. TIL services provide across England increased access and treatment for armed forces personnel approaching discharge and veterans with mental health difficulties. Building on the VMH - TIL service the VMH Intensive Service (VMH - IS) will provide an enhanced service for veterans with complex mental health problems that are attributable to military service, which have not been resolved earlier in the care / support pathway and require an intensive and assertive multi-disciplinary package of clinical and social interventions where a military culturally sensitive approach would assist the rapport and therapeutic outcomes for the patient. The service will focus on those veterans who have complex mental health problems including PTSD. The aim of the Procurement is to: have a consistent service model and patient offer across England; support more veterans than are currently able to access the Intensive Treatment Programme; ensure care is provided closer to home; have common performance metrics across the services. Contracts will be awarded for an initial period of two (2) years, with optional extension for a further two (2) years. i.e. Maximum total duration for each contract is four (4) years in total.
