This integrated service aims to improve mental health outcomes, prevent suicide and reduce stigma. The service delivery will be through various lots covering specific health partnership areas and a service-specific lot focused on 24hr support. The contracts, starting in April 2023 for a three-year term with a possible two-year extension, were awarded following a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation under a light touch regime. This procurement process presents lucrative opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services sector. Companies with a strong track record in delivering mental health support services, particularly those experienced in community-based care, are well-suited to compete.
