The procurement process involves engaging potential providers to deliver a new Community Inclusion Service, with a contract value estimated at about £370k per annum. The engagement end date for this opportunity is set for 23rd September 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for organisations, partnerships, or alliances committed to addressing health inequalities and delivering community mental health or wellbeing services. Suitable businesses should have experience in co-production and collaborating with mental health providers. The successful provider will deliver a comprehensive range of services outlined in the specification from 1st July 2023, supporting individuals from specific communities to access mental health services and community-based activities, address social issues, and receive culturally appropriate care. ## Notice Inner City and East (ICE) Bristol Locality Partnership (LP) - part of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) - is considering an opportunity to provide a two-year contract (with the option to extend for one further year), to establish and run a new Community Inclusion Service. The service will support those people in the ICE Bristol locality, who are amongst the most marginalised to access and benefit from mainstream mental health and wellbeing services. The service will be a crucial component of a new Community Mental Health (CMH) Programme in the ICE Locality. The contract value would be estimated to be approximately PS370k per annum, or PS1.1m over the full three year period. With this in mind, we are undertaking a market engagement exercise to help shape the final specification and to better understand potential interest in delivering this service, prior to formally offering the opportunity to the market.

The Community Inclusion Service will: * support people from these communities to access, engage with and benefit from the full range of mental health services that may be available to them, as well as community-based wellbeing activities * support people to address issues, such as debt, housing, and work * ensure the person receives personalised care that is culturally appropriate throughout their engagement with services * use a relational approach that will enable the person to build trust with the worker, with the service, and with wider mental health services The full outline service description is provided as an attachment to this advert.
