This procurement falls within the health services category and is taking place in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 15 December 2018, and submissions are due by 30 January 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2019 and will run until 31 March 2022, under an open procurement method using an open procedure. This opportunity presents substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in mental health services, counselling, and cognitive behavioural therapy. Qualified organisations with experience in providing clinical assessments and interventions would be well-suited to compete, particularly those capable of contributing to improved patient care and reducing waiting times. The tender will allow successful bidders to extend their services within the healthcare sector while collaborating with NHS trusts to shape more effective treatment pathways for patients. ## Notice Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust (LCFT) is seeking to appoint one or more suppliers to provide a Clinical Services Framework for Patients Requiring Step 3 Counselling Services (Lot 1) and Step 3 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) (Lot 2).

The current LCFT Mindsmatter Team includes cognitive behavioural therapists, counsellors, psychological wellbeing practitioners (who are clinically led by a Consultant Clinical Psychologist), employment advisors and on-line counselling and on-line CBT. We are currently implementing a new service model for Mindsmatter for Counselling and CBT Services, centred on shared care arrangements with primary care that will ensure the best outcomes and service sustainability over the long term. Alongside this service transformation, the Trust is seeking suitably qualified and experienced organisations to undertake specialist work with patients requiring Step 3 Counselling and/or Step 3 CBT, in order to improve waiting times. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3f0968b-b083-47a5-8141-fa779613b882 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | PRESTON, | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR5 6AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | South Ribble | | Electoral ward | Bamber Bridge East | | Westminster constituency | Ribble Valley | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85121200 - Medical specialist services - 85121270 - Psychiatrist or psychologist services ## Release History - 15 Dec 2018 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3f0968b-b083-47a5-8141-fa779613b882 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3f0968b-b083-47a5-8141-fa779613b882 15th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=26552&B=NHSSBS Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/39 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
