This procurement is centred on health and social work services and is located in the East of England, UK. The tender process is in the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 12th August 2022. The successful framework will commence services from 1st September 2022 through to 30th April 2027, allowing qualified providers to contribute to the ongoing transformation of mental health services within the Ipswich, East Suffolk, and West Suffolk areas, as well as potentially expanding to the North East Essex Alliance. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in mental health and social services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Providers who specialise in crisis intervention, cognitive behavioural therapy, or holistic community support services would be well-positioned to compete. By being part of this framework, businesses can engage in the development and delivery of essential mental health services, ultimately enhancing their market presence while positively impacting the well-being of the local community. ## Notice The Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (SNEE ICB) (the "Commissioners") are issuing this invitation to apply to be listed on the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities & Autism Support Framework (the "Support Framework"). The Support Framework has been established to allow Commissioners to work with named providers to transform and develop mental health services within the boundaries of the Ipswich and East Suffolk and West Suffolk Alliances, and potentially the North East Essex Alliance moving forward. The Support Framework forms a list of preferred providers who have declared an interest in one or more of the listed service areas of Crisis, Children, Young People and Families (CYP&F), Community and Learning Disabilities & Autism (LD&A). The preferred providers listed on the support framework will be approached in the first instance, prior to any open market competition, whenever an opportunity to be involved in the transformation, development and or delivery of mental health and learning disability and autism services is available. The full framework document at Annex C2 provides more detail on how the support framework will function. The Support Framework was established in April 2022 and so far, the preferred providers have been approached regarding the following services: * Support for Children & Young People (CYP) in crisis within a hospital or community setting that may require Tier 4 * CBT based transdiagnostic resources * Mental Health Safe Haven & Wellbeing Hub * Suffolk Community Connector Service Further opportunities already planned for release through the Support Framework are as follows: * A service that can co-ordinate and facilitate effective Mental Health and Emotional wellbeing outcomes through proactive, timely intervention, working with system partners. * Support for children and young people and families to have access to person-centred offers of support for Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing needs. Mental Health and Wellbeing Services within Suffolk are undergoing a considerable period of transformation and the Support Framework is intended to support these developments by allowing rapid access to providers to support specification development and service delivery.

Additionally, the contract may also be amended in terms of the original services supplied or the localities covered, where, following assessment it is identified that it is logical for additional services to be delivered in conjunction with this contract and / or by the provider(s), both in terms of actual service delivery and to avoid duplication of costs. This is particularly relevant to the extension of the Support Framework into the locality of North East Essex due to the formation of the Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board.
