This open procedure seeks to commission adult mental health training within the education and training services industry. The tender period is set to end on 25 May 2022, with a contract period starting on 4 July 2022 and concluding on 3 July 2025. The total estimated value of this procurement is £6,400,000, aimed at fostering a trained workforce capable of delivering essential psychological therapies as outlined in the NHS Long-Term Plan. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those focusing on mental health training and psychological therapies. Companies providing tailored training solutions for healthcare professionals, particularly in cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and family interventions, would be well-positioned to compete. With a growing demand for 10,000 additional staff in adult community services, providers prepared to meet this need could significantly contribute to improving mental health care across England. ## Notice HEE is seeking to commission adult mental health training. 1.1 Psychological therapies for people with severe mental health problems (PT-SMHP) are a key part of the new integrated offer for adults, as set out in the NHS Long-Term Plan. The support teams require in order to deliver these therapies is important as part of a team approach to delivering services. 1.2 HEE is currently working closely with NHSE to ensure the capacity and capability in the adult and older adult community mental health workforce to deliver a range of evidence based psychological therapies to improve quality and increase client choice across the system. The aim is to ensure all mental health services across England have access to high quality training in evidence based psychological therapies supported by effective and evidence-based interventions. 1.3 Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners will deliver collaborative care planning and specific wellbeing-focused psychologically-informed interventions - supporting increases capacity in community mental health teams and the shift to a more person-centred, psychologically-informed approach. 1.4 By delivering these functions, the intention of this new role is to release wider team capacity so that mental health nurses, occupational therapists and others can have their job plans revised to allow them to train in and deliver psychological therapies (e.g., Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or Family Interventions). 1.5 Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioners themselves will be trained in generic care planning competences and some specific wellbeing-focused psychologically informed interventions. The primary intention of the MHWP role is to increase supply - as part of the need for 10,000 additional staff in adult community services, whilst also increasing capacity to support service users' wellbeing. 1.6 The NHSE/I and HEE Adult Mental Health Teams have been working with the PT-SMHP Working Group and associated Expert Reference Group to develop the curriculum and subsequently commission training, in association with representatives of the appointing service provider organisations, for Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners through 2021 - 2024. The first wave of training provision started in March 2022 . The second wave to start within NHS financial year 2022/2023. 1.7 A national curriculum has now been agreed (Annex I) for the training course based on expert consensus (including expertise by experience) and the best available evidence. Health Education England, in collaboration with NHSE, intends to commission training provision, commencing NHS financial year 22/23 to address service demand for this course regionally and nationally.
