## Summary

NHS England has completed a direct award procurement process titled "HOPES - Merseycare (Delivery & Secondment)" in the health services industry, specifically targeting the location of England within the United Kingdom. The procurement involved a three-year contract, starting on 1st April 2021 and concluding on 31st March 2024, with a total awarded value of £6,100,000. This tender was exclusive to Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, designed to deliver the HOPES clinical model for patients with complex needs, particularly focusing on autistic individuals and those with learning disabilities.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for large scale healthcare providers who specialise in delivering innovative clinical models and mental health services. With the focus on direct award and delivery at scale, organisations similar to Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust that have the capability to undertake large projects and secondment costs would find this tender particularly suited to their strengths. This procurement aligns with the strategic priorities of NHS-led provider collaboratives to enhance clinical skills and resources in mental health and specialised care sectors.

## Notice

This is a direct award to Merseycare Foundation Trust to allow for the delivery of the HOPES model. This is a clinical model for patients with complex needs and is exclusive to Merseycare, who will share their model with NHS organisations and they are ready to deliver at scale. This is a 3 year project for Merseycare delivery and secondment costs for staff across provider collaboratives, and a specific trauma focussed approach to working with families (family trauma model). This programme will address the lack of clinical skills and resource across NHS led provider collaboratives to work with autistic individuals and individuals with a learning disability who are segregated in NHS funded mental health inpatient provision.
