This initiative encompasses six regional lots across England, covering areas including Kent, Sussex, the Midlands, and the South West. The tender period concluded on 29 September 2017. The contract is set to commence on 1 April 2018, extending until 31 March 2022, indicating a substantial commitment to mental health services for young people in need. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on healthcare services, particularly those specialised in mental health support and outreach. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may have innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of diverse populations within the outlined regions. Engaging in this tender process can enhance visibility and foster partnerships within the healthcare sector, ultimately supporting the delivery of vital social services to young individuals facing mental health challenges. ## Notice NHS England Specialised Commissioning is seeking to commission Community Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (including Secure Outreach). The procurement has been split into regional lots: Lot 1: NHS E - South - South East - Kent and Medway, Surrey and Sussex Lot 2: NHS E - Midlands & East - West Midlands Lot 3: NHS E - South - South West - Devon, Cornwall and Somerset Lot 4: NHS E - South - Wessex - Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Dorset, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire Lot 5: NHS E - Midlands & East - East of England Lot 6: NHS E - South - South West - Gloucester, Wiltshire, Swindon and Bristol, South Gloucester, BANES, North Somerset The service is a tertiary referral service for CAMHS teams, CAMHS/Youth Offending Team (YOT) link workers and neurodisability services for young people and other agencies. The team will be accessible to all agencies (e.g. social services, YOTs, prisons, courts, solicitors, education, health commissioners etc.) that may have contact with young people exhibiting risky behaviours or young people in the youth justice system who have mental health difficulties. The catchment for each service should be 'regional' in the sense that it covers a population and/or geographical area for a total population of about 2.5 million. It is likely that the catchments of some services working either in densely or sparsely populated areas or in areas with particularly high levels of deprivation will need to be organised accordingly.
