## Summary

The NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is seeking proposals for a non-clinical support service titled "16-17 Year Old De-Escalation Safe Space." This initiative aims to provide a safe community environment for young people aged 16 and 17 experiencing mental health or behavioural crises, avoiding the need for acute hospital treatment. The contract will be active for six months starting from 1 February 2022, with a potential extension for another six months. The tender, with a maximum budget of £144,000, falls under the miscellaneous health services category and is currently in the active tender period, ending on 13 December 2021.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses focusing on mental health services, non-clinical support, and community-based interventions. Companies with expertise in providing crisis management, culturally competent services, and the development of personalised support plans would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, promoting innovative approaches to enhance the well-being of young people in Sheffield.

## Notice

Sheffield wishes to pilot a crisis safe space for young people aged 16 and 17 undergoing mental health or behavioural crisis that do not require a formal mental health hospital provision. The aim for the service is to ensure that timely and effective crisis support is delivered in a community setting, away from an acute hospital environment when not clinically necessary. The community-based crisis safe space will offer a safe supportive environment for the de-escalation of mental health or behavioural crisis as a cooling off period for the young person experiencing crisis. The provision will enable a community wrap-round rapid response to enact a holistic needs assessment. Sheffield CCG (SCCG) will welcome innovative approaches to service user support but, as a guide, we expect the crisis safe space service will: - Provide the platform to support a range of interventions, which are personalised and tailored to the service user's needs - Supporting the service user to develop skills and coping strategies to manage future crises. - Advice, support and advocacy in accessing other services provided by statutory and voluntary organisations. - Each service user will have an individual support and action plan and risk management plan that is drawn up in conjunction with the service user and is reviewed throughout their stay. - Working collaboratively with appropriate trusts/partners to support effective and timely interventions, including discharge planning that aims to reduce length of stay to a minimum safe period. - Ensure a culturally competent and respectful service provision in order to support the cultural diversity of service user groups - Supporting service users in preparing meals, if appropriate. The Contract will be for a term of 6 months with the opportunity to extend for a further 6 months subject to mutual agreement between the successful Bidder and the Authority. The maximum term of Contract is consequently one year. The available budget not to be exceeded is PS144,000 for the six months duration.
