## Summary

The Devon Partnership NHS Trust has initiated the procurement process for the "Crisis Cafes" project, aimed at enhancing mental health crisis response services in Devon. This initiative is part of a national mandate, focusing on coordinated efforts among various organisations to deliver timely and accessible support, preventing crises from escalating. The procurement is classified under the services sector, specifically in social work and related services. The tender period concluded on 14th December 2018, with the contract set to span from 1st February 2019 to 31st March 2020, encompassing key locations including Exeter, Torquay, and Barnstaple. The total contract value is £664,892, and the procurement method utilised is a selective procedure due to its above-threshold value.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, crisis intervention, and community support. Firms that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. By developing the Crisis Cafes across the specified locations, successful bidders will contribute to a vital service aimed at fostering recovery and complementing clinical offerings, thus positioning themselves as integral players in the local health infrastructure and enhancing their market presence.
