## Summary

The procurement process involves the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust seeking to provide support for individuals with complex personality disorders as part of the Buckinghamshire Community Mental Health Framework. The tender, titled "Provision of Support for Personality Disorder for High Intensity Users", is categorized under health and social work services and is based in the South East of the United Kingdom. This tender is currently in the tender stage and was published on 23rd February 2022, with submissions due by 8th March 2022. The contract period will commence on 31st March 2022 and extend up to 30th March 2024, with a total value of £290,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those that specialize in mental health services, support services for vulnerable individuals, and community health initiatives. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, as the procurement method follows a Light Touch Regime, allowing for flexibility in service delivery and engagement with local service providers. Businesses capable of addressing complex social needs and collaboration with statutory services would be particularly well-positioned to bid for this contract.

## Notice

The focus of this procurement requirement resulting from the establishment of the new Buckinghamshire Community Mental Health Framework is on people living in their communities with long-term severe mental illnesses, whose needs are deemed too severe for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) but do not have comorbid psychiatric diagnoses severe enough to meet secondary care 'thresholds' for treatment and/or are unwilling/unable to engage in personality disorder-specific treatments offered in secondary care. A service is required to support a specific patient cohort, namely those with a complex personality disorder presentation across numerous statutory and non-statutory services. Individuals are likely to be frequent attenders at primary, secondary and emergency care. In addition they are likely to have complex social needs which result in frequent and often difficult contacts and negotiations with organisations involved with housing, education, CJS amongst others Additional information: Tender documents are available though the NHS Sourcing Tender portal at https://www.nhssourcing.co.uk/web/login.html .where prospective suppliers should register. All correspondence should be conducted through the messaging portal on NHS Sourcing.
