The procurement process aims to develop an integrated health and social care response for individuals with mental health needs, reflecting a system change in accommodation provision. The tender covers Tier 2 and Tier 3 services, with deadlines for submission set for 18th April 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on 6th October 2023 and last until 5th October 2027. This tender issued by Essex County Council presents business growth opportunities for service providers in the health and social work sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to apply. Businesses with expertise in mental health support services will be well-suited to compete for the High, Medium, and Low services contracts in Mid and South Essex. The procurement method used is an open procedure, allowing a wide range of interested providers to participate. ## 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 are four service levels complementing a whole system change, which include Intensive Assessment Beds and support in the community: 1. Intensive Assessment Beds (IAB) 2. Complex (Tier 1) 3. High (Tier 2) 4. Medium and Low (Tier 3) The implementation of the new model started in 2022 in the North East and West quadrant and ECC is now deploying it in Mid and South Essex. The ITT is for the procurement of Tier 2 and Tier 3 services in Mid and South Essex. IAB and Tier services will be procured later on this year. This ITT is composed of 2 lots: Lot 1 - High, Medium and Low services for Mid Essex Lot 2 - High, Medium and Low services for South Essex ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5010b96-5110-42b3-819f-b73bd847f5a2 | | 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 | 7 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 18 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Oct 2023 - 5 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000,000 | | 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 - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 7 Mar 2023 at 16:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5010b96-5110-42b3-819f-b73bd847f5a2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5010b96-5110-42b3-819f-b73bd847f5a2 7th March 2023 - 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.
