This procurement process, categorised under health services, is currently in the planning stage. The RFI is aimed at understanding market capabilities to provide a community-based Crisis support service. Interested parties can access the RFI documentation starting from 19 July 2021, with the deadline for submission of responses set for 30 July 2021. The total value of the proposed service is estimated at £3,000,000, with operations expected within the Bradford District and Craven areas. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for businesses specialised in health services and mental health support to expand their client base. Companies that can provide innovative crisis management solutions and exhibit a commitment to social value will be particularly well-placed to compete for future tenders following this RFI. Potential providers should be prepared to engage actively with the commissioning authority, which is looking for partners to help shape and deliver strategic mental health initiatives in the community. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS Bradford District & Craven Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) (the Commissioner), who are conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise in order to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to provide a Crisis alternative support service in communities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Transforming Bradford District and Craven acute crisis and liaison support The Crisis Alternative support service in communities is a component of the Bradford District and Cravens' Crisis and Liaison Acute Mental Health transformation ambitions. It plays a key role in the reach into communities, early access and crisis support people want to receive so we can achieve our vision. The draft specification attached sets out how this service will continue to build on and further deliver the ambitions set by people for our services. The service is intended to deliver our vision for crisis alternative support, and we are looking for a provider or group of providers that will help deliver and continue to shape this vision with the population we serve. Commissioners will continue to work with our providers to further shape and transform the service and the system of support. Following the RFI exercise, should clarification be required on any aspect of the submitted RFI, this will be via 1:1 sessions which will be held week commencing 9 August 2021. It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Find a Tender (FTS) and on Contracts Finder.
