## Summary

The contracting process for the "Transitions Service for NHS West, Mid and South and North East Essex CCGs" involves a tender initiated by Attain. It pertains to community health services with a total value of £1,980,445. The service is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2022 for a term of 3 years, extendable for an additional 24 months. Key stakeholders include NHS West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group as the coordinating commissioner. The tender is at the award stage, and the procurement method is an open procedure. The tender period ended on 8th April 2022.

This procurement opportunity presents a chance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to engage in providing mental health support services to young people transitioning from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. The tender, focused on community health services, aims to support young individuals in their transition to adult mental health services. Businesses in the healthcare industry, particularly those with expertise in mental health services, are well-suited to compete for this contract, which offers long-term service provision with potential for extension.

## Notice

The aim of this Transition Service is to provide young people moving from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), with a mental health support provision to other services (including primary care) to meet the needs of young service users before they may qualify for Adult Mental Health support provisions. As per the Service Specification, this Transitions Service has been given its name based on the transition from Children and Adolescence to Adults Mental Health and Support provisions. The point of transition from child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) is recognised as a point of potential upheaval for young people who may find it difficult to navigate new service settings, or to manage their mental health following discharge from CAMHS, especially as the availability and offer of support can change dramatically from CAMHS to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) or voluntary sector services. The transition out of CAMHS must be supported by a robust and coordinated multi-agency approach to transition planning. This process is further strengthened by early and effective planning, which may start as young as 15 or as late as 25 and putting the young person at the centre of the process to help them prepare. The process, in many ways a preparation for adulthood, will need to support young people to be as independent as possible. Despite this, services often remain poorly coordinated, and it is vulnerable service users and their families who are left to suffer. The maximum annual budget is PS396,089. The service commencement date is 1st October 2022 for a term of 3 years plus the option to extend for a further 24 months. The value within this Notice is a maximum limit which is inclusive of all options.
