This tender is at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 14 January 2022. The anticipated contract value ranges from £1,060,000 to £1,260,000, and the successful bidder will provide services from 1 April 2022 through to 31 March 2024, focusing on guidance and counselling services in response to the community's need for non-clinical crisis support alternatives. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in mental health services, particularly those specialising in non-clinical support and community engagement. Companies offering counselling, mental health training, and related services would be well-suited to compete for this tender. Furthermore, the open procurement method encourages small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate, fostering innovation and enhancing service delivery in the local mental health sector. ## Notice In March 2020, NHS England announced new funding to be made available to local areas to strengthen mental health crisis teams and to provide new alternative forms of provision such as crisis cafes and safe havens. Through the CCG engagement work residents of Sheffield have told us they want an alternative to traditional clinical places to attend in non life threatening crisis situations. Crisis Cafe Lot 1 : - The crisis cafe will deliver crisis support to those experiencing a mental health crisis. - The cafe will allow access without prior arrangement of wait in a safe environment. - A 'hot drink', a 'listening ear', practical support or help to access specialist mental health services (if required) will be provided. - We expect the cafe to be staffed by people with experience, knowledge and expertise in mental health. - The cafe is anticipated to operate 7 days per week opening (as a minimum) between 6pm and 12am (the provider will be expected to evaluate and refine opening times after the first 12 months to align to informed levels of demand) Wellbeing Ambassadors (non-clinical) (Lot 2): - The Wellbeing Ambassadors will support people who are being seen in the hospital Emergency Department or will help people to access the Crisis Cafe. - The ambassadors may also provide support to individuals who are on waiting lists or awaiting a decision over their mental health and ongoing treatment/interventions.
