The tender, currently at the tender stage, seeks to engage a supplier capable of developing evidence-based treatment pathway packages in the mental health sector. This procurement falls under the research and development services category and has an estimated value of £3,000,000, with a minimum value of £1,000,000. The tender period is set to close on 2nd December 2016, and the contract will commence on 16th January 2017, lasting until 31st March 2019, with delivery required across the United Kingdom and potentially beyond. This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health consultancy, research, and healthcare policy. Companies with proven experience in integrating mental health services, facilitating stakeholder committees, and managing large-scale projects will be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, making this an excellent chance for innovative firms to contribute to vital improvements in mental health care standards and delivery. ## Notice On behalf of NHS England, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is seeking to procure a Supplier to develop Evidence Based Treatment Pathway packages in Mental Health. NHS England set out a plan in their 2014 publication 'Five Year Forward View' for immediate action to improve access to mental health services and NICE recommended treatment. This was further supported through the ambitions in the 'Five Year Forward View for Mental Health' and the 'Five Year Forward View Implementation Plan'. NHS England has subsequently established a programme to introduce evidence-based treatment pathways and associated standards (including waiting time standards in some areas) across mental health and has asked NICE to commission and manage this work. We are looking for a supplier that has a proven track record in: * Drafting mental-health care policy guidance at a national level in the context of fully integrated mental-health, physical-health and social care services. * Analysis and systematic review of complex evidence and data in the field of mental-health care. * Detailed knowledge of existing national guidance and policy in the area of mental-health care. * Facilitating expert committees made up of mental health and social care professionals, academics, experts by experience (mental health service users and carers) and other key stakeholders (housing, police, voluntary sector, education) to provide advice on integrated mental health care treatment pathways, service design, data collection, routine outcome measurement, workforce development and the design of system levers and incentives. * Working closely with experts by experience employed as part of a larger technical team. * Working closely with commissioners and providers of mental-health care services at a regional level in order to set up or facilitate quality improvement networks for the implementation of evidence based treatment pathways in mental health care. * Programme and project management expertise and the planning and delivery of large-scale projects of high profile and national importance. Additional information: Suppliers are asked to include a single point of contact for their organisation and to register an interest in this tender (please send an email to the contract point with your contact details). This will be used to email questions from any bidders and responses to all interested parties. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b30d3c1e-7ccd-48e9-bfb6-67beb1008027 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 2 Dec 2016 | | Future notice date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Jan 2017 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2BU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 24 Nov 2016 at 16:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b30d3c1e-7ccd-48e9-bfb6-67beb1008027 - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd7903b0-c2be-4967-b50c-ff6eeaa1dc8c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b30d3c1e-7ccd-48e9-bfb6-67beb1008027 24th November 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd7903b0-c2be-4967-b50c-ff6eeaa1dc8c 14th October 2016 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/436e5e24-f115-4443-bb42-d41dde1b6419 01 Specification of Requirements for EBTP_Supplier_final - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6b601565-2349-4528-8f48-a67734694afa 02 form of offer - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/71e562b4-fff0-4b2f-af2c-31c86c808243 03 EBTP MH sample Terms and conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/59a4c4a3-ea43-4328-a663-ceef0a4017fa 04 Redactions Requests - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c188e532-b1ff-40f8-8d87-260ac6546d00 05 EBTP MH Tender TUPE Confidentiality Agreement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bc0201aa-179c-4f09-b687-7a892e128a33 06 Competing Interests - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d36692b3-e593-4721-83ea-b5f2e276bf46 07 EBTP_ Process And Methods_v7 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
