The Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has completed the award process for the tender titled "Evaluation of Oxfordshire CMHF and Primary Care Mental Health Practitioners." The procurement is in the services category related to research consultancy services. The contract involves evaluating the impact of the NHS trust's transformation work within mental health services.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the research consultancy sector, to engage in a project aimed at evaluating innovative mental health service models. The evaluation will focus on assessing the impact of new service pathways and team developments, providing valuable insights for the sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to participate in this tender, which aims to generate evidence for the efficacy of the service model implemented by the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.

## Notice

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust (OHFT) is seeking to evaluate the impact of the implementation of its transformation work in line with the Community Mental Health Framework, including the establishment of an Integrated Mental Health Pathway . The Oxfordshire model has three key elements within the overall programme : 1. Developing the individual diagnostic pathways that will develop the new Integrated Community Mental Health Pathway 2. Developing the Primary Care Mental Health teams in localities. 3. Developing the Primary Care Mental Health Practitioners ( ARRS) teams Oxford Health (OHFT) wants to evaluate these projects as the model being implemented is innovative and transformative, focusing on a trauma-informed, holistic approach to care rather than more traditional clinical models. OHFT seeks to understand how the impact of this service model varies from more traditional models in addition to meeting previously unmet need, and the impact this has had on people's lives and recovery. OHFT would like to understand and also evidence a good return on investment, including in comparison to alternative service models employed elsewhere. It is important that this analysis focuses on and articulates the individual impact of specific types of roles as part of a blended model as well as service outcomes as a whole. Given staffing challenges across the NHS and mental health services in particular, every employment has a high opportunity cost, and it is important for OHFT to be able to justify this and to develop an evidence base for the efficacy of the service model. The evaluation must include baseline analysis (prior to any changes being implemented) to enable a useful contrast with the current state of operation. We expect the evaluation to run for a period of approx. 14 months to conclude in 2024.
