## Summary

The procurement process for the Provision of Family Therapy Services in Plymouth is being conducted by the South Central and West Commissioning Support Unit on behalf of NHS Devon CCG. This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and is currently in the planning stage. Key to this process is the engagement end date of 7th January 2022, by which interested parties must complete a questionnaire. The service aims to provide targeted systemic family therapy interventions for children and young people experiencing moderate mental health needs within the South West region of the United Kingdom, with an annual budget of approximately £80,000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in mental health, familial therapy, or related fields. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, as the process encourages participation from these sectors. Successful providers will be expected to deliver effective interventions while collaborating with other services, making this a compelling opportunity for businesses that can demonstrate the necessary skills, experience, and a commitment to delivering quality care.

## Notice

Service Description: A targeted systemic family therapy service. The service will: * Provide systemic family therapy interventions to meet children and young people's mental health needs (this includes a comprehensive list of potential interventions -for more detail see Appendix 1); * Support parents and carers; and * Liaise with the wider children and young people's workforce and, where appropriate, adult services (e.g. adult mental health services). Provision of targeted systemic family therapy delivers more intensive input than is available at a universal level, implementing evidence based interventions that require specific skills and training, to provide help and support for children and young people who have moderate mental health needs. The provider will ensure that the targeted service will provide systemic family therapy intervention for children and young people with a wide range of moderate mental health needs, including, but not limited to, children and young people with emotional problems (such as anxiety and depression), eating disorders, conduct disorder or behavioural difficulties, and somatic disorders. The annual budget is circa PS80,000 per annum. Service requirements: The provider will make arrangements to ensure a family therapy team of appropriate size and with the relevant professional competencies, training and support to deliver effective targeted interventions for children and young people with moderate mental health needs, in line with the requirements of Standard Nine of the NSF for Children, Young People and Maternity Services. The provider will treat all children, young people and carers with respect and dignity, ensuring they are appropriately safeguarded and are enabled to contribute to planning their care, enabling choice and care that is personalised wherever possible. The provider will deliver care to children, young people and their families in a non-stigmatising environment, working as part of a wider network of comprehensive CAMHS in Plymouth. This process is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners, NHS Devon CCG. Additional information: NHS Devon CCG will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. Based on the market awareness and findings gathered from this process the commissioner may or may not engage in a competitive process. Should it be deemed that there is sufficient interest and capability in the market and subject to commissioner decisions interested parties should be aware that this notice may then be used to trigger as a call for competition and in that scenario no other notices will be placed before the competition is commenced.
