The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an important deadline for expressing interest set for 18th June 2018. Interested parties should be prepared to meet the technical specifications and have bed availability by the contract's expected start date of 19th July 2018. The relevant services fall under the classification for 'Services provided by medical personnel' within the healthcare industry, specifically targeting the demographic in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in mental health services, to extend their reach and enhance their service offerings. Businesses that provide inpatient therapeutic programmes and have experience in treating conditions such as emotional instability and eating disorders would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. The streamlined procurement method indicates that the NHS may award this contract without further competition, making it imperative for interested parties to express their interest in a timely and effective manner. ## Notice Arden and GEM CSU on behalf of NHS South Warwickshire CCG have a requirement for the placement of a patient with complex mental health needs; a) This patient is a young female with diagnoses of emotionally unstable personality disorder and anorexia nervosa. b) A number of the patient's mental health difficulties stem from a psychological base. c) The patient is currently being nursed on level four observations with two staff. This is due to increasing episodes of deliberate self-harm on the eating disorders unit, predominantly by means of inserting objects into her body. The patient has required regular medical and surgical intervention for this. d) In any stressful situation the patient reverts to using maladaptive coping strategies which put her physical and mental wellbeing at severe risk. e) The patient has a history of absconsion attempts, and therefore requires rapid and secure transportation services. The CCG is seeking an inpatient therapeutic treatment programme, which provides a high level of supervision and support specifically to address self-harming behaviours and eating disorder whilst psychotherapeutic work is undertaken. This is expected to encompass work on affect regulation, self-compassion, managing her relationships with others, transferring these skills to independent living. The aim is to reduce the overall observations in order to progress through therapeutic work and be able to support her to increasing independence.
