## Summary

NHS England has recently concluded the procurement process titled "Senior Intervenor work packages in support of people with a Learning Disability - Republic of Ireland" under the category of Health services. This process was focused on improving cross-border care and discharge planning for individuals from the home nations, crown dependencies, or the Republic of Ireland currently placed in English Mental Health hospitals. The procurement method was selective, carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 5th September 2024 and will run until 31st March 2025, with Fiona Ritchie Consulting LTD securing the contract for a value of GBP 13,350. Locations involved include London, SE1 8UG, England, United Kingdom.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced with mental health, learning disabilities, and autism. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete due to the framework's suitability criteria. Businesses providing specialised care and capable of managing complex cross-border healthcare coordination would find this project beneficial. Those ready to navigate the intricacies of multi-national collaboration in the healthcare sector will be well-positioned to leverage this contract to gain further credibility and expand their market presence.

## Notice

Within the current Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism Quality Transformation Programme (inpatients) there is an ongoing piece of work to understand and improve cross border working. This relates specifically to a small group of people from either one of the home nations, crown dependencies or the Republic of Ireland who are currently placed within English Mental Health hospitals. Providers and ICBs are facing significant barriers to discharge planning and have been unable to identify responsible professionals in other countries (as detailed above). This has resulted in long delays when people are ready for discharge or the service is closing and a lack of clarity around escalation routes to raise concerns around quality of care. Similar challenges are faced when trying to move people closer to home at a time when they require ongoing treatment, but where their current needs are no longer met by the hospital where they are currently placed
