This will be provided in collaboration with service user, carers, statutory and non-statutory organisations in order to ensure that admissions and inpatient treatment is timely and appropriate in providing a safe space to promote recovery from a mental health crisis. The services would be expected to provide short-term assessment, treatment and care, and work to integrate patients into the community. A multidisciplinary team approach would be expected to be followed, with staff working closely with community mental health teams, the home treatment team and other services. All services should include person-centred assessment, evidence-based interventions, support for carers and planned transfer of care to community services.Lot 4 - Spot Purchase Contract for Step up / Step Down Mental Health Beds - Duration 3-5 years Provision to provide short term accommodation for patients who are well enough to be discharged from acute in-patient services but are currently unable to return to accommodation in the community or for patients who would benefit from a period away from their normal accommodation to prevent hospital admission.

The purpose is to relieve pressures on acute in-patient beds and provide care closer to home in the least restrictive way possible. Step down provision to inpatient ward discharge for patients who require a short period of support prior to returning home or who are waiting for a support package/ future placement from social services or CHC but no longer require an acute mental health ward.
