## Summary

NHS England is seeking proposals for the "Mental Health New Care Models - Evaluation" project, which aims to assess the potential benefits of providers of mental health inpatient beds taking control of commissioning budgets. This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve access to community support and enhance the quality of mental health care. The tender is classified under Project Management Consultancy Services and additional administrative healthcare and evaluation consultancy services, with a total contract value of £140,000. The tender period will close on 15 November 2017, following which the contract is set to commence on 15 December 2017, lasting until 31 March 2019. The contract is open for all suppliers to submit their bids.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in management consultancy, healthcare services, and evaluation consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their expertise to contribute to improving mental health care models. By competing for this contract, businesses can potentially enhance their profiles and expand their services within the healthcare sector, responding to the evolving needs of mental health services.

## Notice

This contract will explore the potential benefits of providers of mental health inpatient beds assuming control for commissioning budgets - giving them the incentive and responsibility to improve care across the whole pathway to improve access to community support, prevent avoidable admissions, reduce the length of in-patient stays and eliminate inappropriate out of area placements, and encourage recovery. As the New Care Model (NCM) programme progresses, NHS England wishes to commission a review of this programme in order to formally evaluate outcomes. Further information can be found in the tender documents. Organisations interested in bidding for this work should access the tender documents by visiting NHS England's e-tendering platform at www.nhsengland.bravosolution.co.uk
