This initiative falls under the health and social care industry, specifically aimed at improving supported accommodation for individuals with mental health needs. The procurement is in the active Tender stage, having been published on 1st April 2022, with submissions due by 13th May 2022. The contract, valued at £15.5 million, will commence on 6th October 2022 and run until 5th October 2027, focusing on various service levels to address complex mental health challenges in the region. This procurement opportunity presents significant business growth potential for firms specialising in health and social work services. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions in supported accommodation, particularly those experienced in working with individuals with complex mental health needs, are well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, offering tailored services that align with the objectives of this progressive model aimed at enhancing recovery outcomes for the community. ## Notice ECC and partners have ambitious plans for its new model of Mental Health Supported Accommodation, to develop an integrated health and social care response to meet the needs of individual who require supported accommodation. A comprehensive review of the health and social care system as a whole for supporting people with mental health needs has been undertaken. The numbers of people requiring support with complex needs has increased over recent years and traditional approaches to supported accommodation and reliance on residential provision for people with complex needs do not deliver the outcomes that people tell us support their recovery This Mental Health Accommodation Specification sets out the requirements for enabling people who require support in a Supported Living setting to achieve their outcomes and aspirations by building upon their strengths, skills and knowledge and ensuring they are directing their care and support plans. Based on broad stakeholder engagement and co-produced with individuals with lived experience, ECC is procuring a range of provision at different Tiers to support the differing needs of People with Mental Health needs across Essex who require support in accommodation. The new model reflects the need for a system change to broaden the provision to match more complex needs to the best recovery settings, and to reduce the number of people placed outside of the County boundary. There will be four service levels complementing a whole system change, which include Intensive Assessment Beds and support in the community: Intensive Assessment Beds Complex (Tier1) High (Tier 2) Medium and Low (Tier 3) The implementation of the new model is starting in 2022 in the North East and West quadrant. The ITT is composed of 4 lots covering the new services in the quadrants where the implementation in starting this year: Lot 1 - Intensive Assessment Beds for North East and West Lot 2 - Complex services for North East and West Lot 3 - High, Medium and Low services for North East Lot 4 - High, Medium and Low services for West ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6fdff1ce-d376-4fb3-ab17-303a0149cfb1 | | 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 | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 13 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Oct 2022 - 5 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,500,000 | | 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 | ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHELMSFORD | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM1 1QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH36 Heart of Essex | | Local authority | Chelmsford | | Electoral ward | Moulsham and Central | | Westminster constituency | Chelmsford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 1 Apr 2022 at 17:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6fdff1ce-d376-4fb3-ab17-303a0149cfb1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6fdff1ce-d376-4fb3-ab17-303a0149cfb1 1st April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.essex.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
