The tender is currently in the active phase and will close on 9th May 2018 at 12:00 noon. This open procedure, classified under psychiatric or psychologist services, will run from 1st August 2018 to 31st March 2020, with services expected to be delivered primarily in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those offering evidence-based psychological therapies. Providers well-versed in agile and lean approaches to mental health service delivery, as well as strong relationship-building capabilities with primary care clinicians, will find this tender particularly suitable. Companies aiming to contribute to public health outcomes and improve the wellbeing of various communities in Barnsley are encouraged to engage in this procurement process. ## Notice The vision for Barnsley is for the borough to have an IAPT service with exemplary delivery characterized by a warm, person-centred approach tailored to the needs of the individuals and staff who exude passion for making a difference to the people they serve and to constantly develop the service. Upholding the principles of service delivery developed within the Virginia Mason Institute of continuous improvement we expect the utilization of agile and lean approaches with effective performance leadership to maximize client facing time of all practitioners and preventing waits for access to the service developing, noting service responsibility to ensure wrap around support if a wait is incurred. We would also anticipate the prioritization of relationship building with Primary Care Clinicians, particularly through the evolving neighbourhoods. The intention is to significantly improve the mental health and wellbeing of the residents of the borough. The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) is an NHS programme of talking therapy treatments recommended by NICE which support front-line mental health services in common mental health disorders (see http://www.iapt.nhs.uk ). The service will provide: * evidence-based psychological therapies, as approved by NICE, for people with depression and anxiety disorders * access to services and treatments by people experiencing depression and anxiety disorders from all communities living within the Barnsley borough * increased health and wellbeing, with at least 60% of those completing treatment moving to recovery and most experiencing a meaningful improvement in their condition * patient choice and high levels of satisfaction from people using services and their carers * timely access, with people waiting no longer than locally agreed waiting time standards * improved employment, benefit and social inclusion status including help for people to retain employment, return to work, improve their vocational situation, and participate in the activities of daily living.
