Key dates include a market engagement end date of 9th February 2022, with the anticipated tender launch scheduled for 4th April 2022 and a contract start date of 1st September 2022. The contract will have a duration of three years, with the possibility of a two-year extension, and is valued at £142,000 per annum (£710,000 total over five years). This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises with expertise in mental health services. Businesses focused on community-centred health solutions and capable of mobilising quickly (within approximately eight weeks from the tender live date) would be especially well-suited to compete. The service's emphasis on integration within existing local mental health partnerships suggests the need for providers to actively engage with local community resources and networks to enhance service delivery. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS England & NHS Improvement North East (the Contracting Authority) and NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (the Commissioner), who wish to alert the market to a potential future tender opportunity to deliver an out of hours mental health service; The Haven @ 30 Clarence St York.

The Provider will be expected to engage in the full range of relevant working groups and partnership networks that are striving to join up and improve mental health services across the city to support people with their mental health and wellbeing. The anticipated tender live date for this procurement opportunity is 4 April. It is anticipated that there will be approximately 8 weeks to mobilise the service. The contract term is for 3 years plus the option for a 2-year extension with an anticipated contract start date of 01 September 2022 The estimated contract value is PS142,000 per annum, (PS710,000 in total over 5 years). Subject to approval and wider stakeholder discussion, there is also the possibility for an additional non-recurrent allocation of PS48, 000 per year for crisis alternative services during year 1 and 2 of the contract.
