## Summary

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is overseeing the procurement process for the "Veterans' Mental Health High Intensity Service," a critical health service contract falling under the health services category. The procurement is at the Award stage, with the contract period commencing from 1st July 2020 and concluding on 31st May 2022. The total contract value is approximately £10.66 million, and it encompasses multiple delivery areas across the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure in compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, with a tender submission deadline of 3rd January 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those within the independent, voluntary, and community sectors. Companies that offer a diverse provider mix—including medical, psychological, social, and welfare services—will be especially well-suited to compete. With an emphasis on collaboration with experienced partners, there is a valuable prospect for SMEs and voluntary sector organisations to contribute to enhanced veteran mental health care and potentially secure long-term contracts as the service evolves.

## Notice

As part of the commitments of the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS England are progressing arrangements to commission, via 7 lots, a Veterans' Mental Health High Intensity Service Pathfinder that will provide both inpatient and community-based crisis response services. An important element of service delivery will be to monitor and evaluate patient outcomes, with learning and insight from the Pathfinder informing the development of future Veterans' mental health services from 2022. The Pathfinder, to be delivered as 7 Networks, will launch in April 2020 and run until end of March 2022. Network Lead Providers will be responsible for sourcing partners and subcontractors by making the most of the experienced independent, voluntary and third sectors to enable the best provider-mix possible from medical, psychological, social and welfare backgrounds to attain equity of services and value for money. The procurement process will be facilitated entirely online via eu-supply.com Applicants should register and complete the online questionnaires hosted on the portal prior to the deadline for submission. All clarification requests and correspondence relating to this opportunity must be directed through the portal. Contracts will be awarded for a period of two (2) years. Further information, the indicative procurement timetable (subject to change at NHS England's discretion) and guidance can be viewed online via the Portal. This tender process is being managed by Arden and GEM Commissioning Support Unit (AGEM CSU) on behalf of NHS England in connection with a procurement exercise that is based on the open procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The associated services fall within the 'Light Touch Regime' (LTR) governing procurement of health, social, education and other service contracts. NHS England, and AGEM CSU as its representative, hold themselves bound to any of the regulations, save those applicable to LTR provisions. Bidders are also to note that information relating to this procurement is provided in good faith and may be subject to amendment.
