## Summary

Merseytravel, on behalf of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, is currently conducting an open tender for the "Housing First Psychologist Service." This procurement process falls within the services category, specifically focusing on psychiatrist or psychologist services, and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 3rd May 2019, and submissions are due by 28th May 2019. The total budget allocated for this service is £351,000, with the contract expected to commence on 28th June 2019 and run until 28th June 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the mental health sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing psychologically informed services to address homelessness issues. Providers who specialise in trauma-informed care, personality disorders, and chronic mental health conditions will be well-positioned to compete. The focus on building trusting relationships and delivering high-quality emotional support further enhances prospects for businesses equipped with the relevant skills and experience to meet the needs outlined in the tender.

## Notice

The service will have in place clinical governance procedures and a framework of accountability for continually improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care and excellence in clinical care. The provider will understand and clinically deliver a service that addresses the core issues that drive homelessness including trauma (whether in childhood or adulthood), personality disorder and chronic mental health disorder experience (such as chronic PTSD or serious mental illness). The Housing First staff will need to respond to the often unmet need for psychologically informed emotional support and build up consistent and trusting relationships. Hence, the service will need to develop itself in relation to psychologically informed approaches. The provider will support the Housing First service to develop and acquire the necessary skills and tools to deliver such a service. **Merseytravel is procuring these services on behalf of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. Any legal agreement entered into as a result of this procurement process will be with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.**
