The procurement is classified under health and social work services and falls under an open procedure. The tender was published on 12th November 2021, with submissions required by 13th December 2021. The contract period will commence on 10th January 2022 and will end on 9th January 2023, with potential delivery locations including various areas across the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector, particularly those focused on mental health care and community support services. Companies that specialise in areas such as refugee support, community connecting services, peer support systems, and BAME support initiatives would be well-positioned to respond to this tender. The collaboration is intended to enhance existing services, making this an excellent opportunity for organisations looking to expand their impact in community health and social support sectors. ## Notice Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (LSCFT) have been successful in bidding for transformation for transformation funding from NHS England that will see us develop new models of integrated community mental health care across Lancashire and South Cumbria. In our bid we indicated we would spend a sizable proportion of this funding on the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector (VCFSE), although the exact proportions varies across each locality area. We are keen that this funding is used in such a way that complements existing third sector services; rather than duplicating or replacing existing provision. The aim of the programme is to develop a new population- based model for mental health care in the community. This new model of care will redesign and reorganise the existing community mental health resource to form new community mental health hubs each of which will be aligned to the local GP Primary Care Networks (populations of 30,000- 50,000). The community mental health hubs will have blended teams of health, social care and VCFSE staff; working together, and with local communities, to improve mental and physical health. LSCFT would like invite bids from VCFSE organisations across Lancashire and South Cumbria to help develop the best ways for us to mobilise this sector funding. Specific areas that we are looking to develop with VCFSE include support for Refugees, Asylum Seekers, Community Connectors, Peer Support, BAME Support Workers and support for people with complex lifestyles. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b32cc9ae-bae7-4544-8a3f-c855f9a19914 | | 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 | 12 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Jan 2022 - 9 Jan 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR5 6AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | South Ribble | | Electoral ward | Bamber Bridge East | | Westminster constituency | Ribble Valley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 12 Nov 2021 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b32cc9ae-bae7-4544-8a3f-c855f9a19914 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b32cc9ae-bae7-4544-8a3f-c855f9a19914 12th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=40595&B=NHSSBS This tender and all documentation can be found at the EU-SUPPLY website link provided.
