This procurement falls under the health services industry category and is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 8 January 2018. Three geographical Lots have been established for this tender: North West London, North Central London & North East London, and South London. The total available budget for the service is £1,845,881 per annum, amounting to £3,691,762 over a prospective two-year contract, which is expected to commence on 1 April 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers focused on mental health services, particularly those with experience in supporting high-risk young people and complex needs. Businesses equipped to deliver multidisciplinary services, including secure outreach, will find this procurement particularly relevant. SMEs may benefit from participating in this tender as the bidding process allows for submissions for individual Lots, enhancing the potential for winning contracts without the need to compete for a large service in its entirety. ## Notice NHS England (hereafter referred to as ''The Authority'') invites completed Invitation to Tender (ITT) submissions from all suitable providers to deliver the new Community Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (including Secure Outreach) for London (hereafter referred to as "the Service"). The service is being commissioned by NHS England Specialised Commissioning (London Region), in partnership with NHS England Health and Justice (London Region). The commissioning of the Service forms part of a national initiative to develop England-wide specialist child and adolescent mental health services for high risk young people with complex needs and that will be delivered within clearly defined geographical areas at regional and sub-regional level. The Service will be delivered in line with the service specification that has been developed nationally. The service is a tertiary referral service with the functions of a specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) service, including secure outreach. It will be available to all agencies within its regional catchment, and is intended to supplement and inform existing and other cross-agency provision (e.g. CAMHS, children's social services, youth offending teams, prisons, courts, education) which may have contact with risky young people, including those in contact with the youth justice system who have mental health and/ or neurodevelopmental difficulties (including learning disabilities and autism). The aim of the Procurement is to enable the implementation of a comprehensively and consistently delivered service across London, and complement the programme of work that is being undertaken nationally. Overarching aims and principles for the Service include: specialist service complementing generic mental health services and national inpatient provision; based in mental health but committed to multi-agency working; teams that are active, accessible and approachable and play a clinical, institutional and service development role. The procurement has been split into three geographical Lots: * Lot 1 - North West London (NWL) * Lot 2 - North Central London & North East London (NCL & NEL) * Lot 3 - South London (SL) Bidders may bid for one, all or any combination of the Lots, but it is the Commissioner's intention not to award more than 2 Lots to any one Bidder. Contracts will be awarded for an initial period of 2 years, with optional extension for a further 2 years. Contract start is expected to be 1 April 2018. Providers are invited to submit their proposed dates for service commencement, but at a minimum services are required to commence within 3 months of contract start according to the phased approach set out in the tender documents. The Commissioner has a total budget available of PS1,845,881 per annum, which amounts to PS3,691,762 over the 2 years.
