During 2021/22 a Mental Health Taskforce was formed to review the mental health commissioning arrangements in Essex, to identify any gaps in process and make recommendations to improve the commissioning of mental health services across the County. One of the key recommendations was to streamline commissioning and contract management processes, with Accountable Officers making the commitment to a single contractual approach for the incumbent Provider, Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT). As a result, the Authority has taken a decision to vary it's existing contract with EPUT for provision of Mental Health Services, from 1st April 2022 , to include the scope of mental health services for NHS North East Essex CCG, NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG and NHS West Suffolk CCG, for the remaining term of two years, until 31st March 2024.
