The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement event scheduled for 13th December 2016, to gather insights from potential service providers. Interested parties should register through the Bravo eProcurement portal to participate, and the engagement period will end on 23rd February 2018. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and targets the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, recovery programmes, and integrated care solutions. Companies with expertise in individual placement support, peer-led initiatives, and community health integration will find this project particularly aligned with their capabilities. Engaging in this market event is an excellent chance for providers to refine their service offerings based on direct feedback from the commissioning organisation, potentially leading to a valuable contract in a growing sector. ## Notice NHS Birmingham CrossCity CCG, NHS Birmingham South Central CCG and NHS Sandwell & West Birmingham CCG intend to commission a combined mental health recovery and employment service which will be provided as an integrated service to enable services to work in a coordinated fashion. (3 year contract) The service will encompass: (A) A full fidelity Individual Placement Support Service to be integrated into the community mental health services within Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust (BSMHFT) and the Forward Thinking Birmingham (FTB) hubs partly based on a payment by outcomes contracting mechanism. (B) A recovery service that will be aligned to the four newly created integrated community mental health services in Birmingham for adults over 25 (BSMHFT) and the FTB community hubs. The service will offer a 1:1 recovery support planning to include a Personal Health Budget 'brokerage' function and recovery focused activities based on a Recovery College model and supports the development of peer-led support networks and groups. The CCGs are holding a market event to engage with providers in order to fully develop their commissioning strategy, specification and outcome measures in relation to Mental Health Employment and Recovery Services. The Market event will be at the Saffron Centre, Birmingham on 13th December 2016. Following this event providers can attend 1:1 sessions between the commissioner and potential providers which is hoped will enable the CCG to obtain detailed feedback on the requirements. Feedback will help the commissioner finalise the specification and other elements of the service/contract.
