The contracting process is currently active and involves securing a core IAPT service alongside a Wellbeing Wraparound service, designed to facilitate access to mental health support in the North West of England. The tender period closed on 17 August 2016, and the awarded contract is to commence on 31 October 2016, lasting until 31 October 2019. The industry category for this procurement falls under health services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in mental health services, particularly those that can deliver innovative solutions aligned with NICE guidelines. Companies specialising in psychological therapy services, social prescribing solutions, and integrated community health initiatives would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. The nature of the services needed promotes collaboration between existing community resources and well-established mental health practitioners, which can enable successful bidders to foster growth in a supportive ecosystem. ## Notice NHS Eastern Cheshire CCGs intention is to procure a core IAPT service (covering Steps 2 & 3) in addition to a Wellbeing Wraparound service via separate lots. Access to both services will be via Access and Referral Points to be provided by the core IAPT Service Provider The model that NHS Eastern Cheshire CCG has developed, following extensive research, and following national guidelines follows an innovative approach to providing care for people with a range of mental health problems, including: * establishing a "Access and Referral" for a primary care-based model of mental health services, including IAPT * establishing a wellbeing wraparound hub, so that everyone, regardless of whether they meet the thresholds for IAPT therapies or not, can access mental wellbeing support The innovation to integrate earlier intervention/prevention interventions into the pathway, ensuring that those at steps 1 and 2 with sub-threshold symptoms are getting a service (in line with NICE guidance), is an valuable addition to the existing IAPT provision, and will ensure that those with mental health needs are supported faster, and by existing assets in our community. Linking these to social prescribing/community referral schemes helps to address the causal factors, which has previously been a key missing element of service provision, and something as a Clinical Commissioning Group that we have felt very strongly about. The development of our 'Wellbeing Wraparound' in addition to the core IAPT service will help to integrate these elements in a new and innovative way in Eastern Cheshire. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d6ecb848-79fd-4a7b-ae0b-fd149dbfa94a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 17 Aug 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Oct 2016 - 31 Oct 2019 | | 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 EASTERN CHESHIRE CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | MACCLESFIELD | | Post town | Stockport | | Postcode | SK10 3BL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Broken Cross and Upton | | Westminster constituency | Macclesfield | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d6ecb848-79fd-4a7b-ae0b-fd149dbfa94a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d6ecb848-79fd-4a7b-ae0b-fd149dbfa94a 13th July 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/46ca933e-4a00-4f7e-802a-8c716aba4640 The Service Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7921b637-8a40-4c94-9fa6-16a345a6d7fd Service pathway summary - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0df0748c-2d37-4e13-bb71-a3bb6d181e62 The ITT document - https://www.nhssourcing.co.uk/ The CCG's procurement portal, please look for current opportunities ## Notice URLs - https://www.easterncheshireccg.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
