This initiative falls within the social services category and is located in London, England. The tender process is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 18th March 2021. The grant will be awarded based on proposals that meet the requirement to assist customers experiencing a mental health crisis and will run from 2nd April 2021 until 31st March 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer specialised debt advice or mental health support services. Companies with expertise in mental health interventions, financial counselling, or social service delivery would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, organisations registered on the MaPS eSourcing portal, particularly those with a valid DUNS number, are encouraged to apply as they align with the objectives of providing timely and impactful support to vulnerable individuals experiencing financial crises. ## Notice The Money and Pensions Service is inviting applications from specialist debt advice providers to support customers receiving mental health crisis treatment in England who are referred for a Mental Health Crisis Breathing Space. The grant recipient will ensure that referrals made by approved mental health professionals are dealt with in a timely way so that eligible customers gain the protections offered by Breathing Space for the duration of their mental health crisis treatment. Where feasible, MaPS would also like the grant recipient to provide these customers with specialist debt advice after their crisis treatment. As this is a new project, the provider will work with MaPS to co-design the offer, identifying ways to enhance efficiency and effectiveness and supporting MaPS with its evaluation of the project.
