The procurement exercise is divided into 4 lots with maximum contract values ranging from £615,000 to £1,395,000. The services are aimed at providing mental health support to vulnerable offenders, increasing the proportion of offenders with mental health issues with effective treatment plans, and preventing re-offending by addressing underlying causes. This tender opportunity creates business growth potential for providers in the healthcare and social work services sector who can offer tailored mental health services to support individuals with a range of mental health issues. Businesses with experience in community treatment options and working with vulnerable populations would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method is 'open', and the tender period ends on 12th December 2022, with services planned to commence on 1st July 2023. ## Notice NHS England South East (the Commissioner) seeks to commission Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs) Services across the South East. This forms part of the wider Community Sentence Treatment Requirements (CSTRs) Programme which is a partnership between the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), NHS England (NHSE), Public Health England (PHE) and His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). MHTR in the context of the CSTR programme is intended for the sentencing of individuals convicted of an offence(s) which has crossed the community order sentencing threshold and may be used as an alternative to short custodial sentences for individuals who may have range of mental health, personality disorder and psychological issues/vulnerabilities which do not require forensic or secondary care treatment. Contracts will be for an initial term of 3 years, with a possible extension of a further three years, as defined and at the discretion of the Commissioner. Services are planned to commence on 01 July 2023. The procurement exercise is split into 4 Lots with the corresponding 3 year initial term maximum contract values. Lot 1: Southampton Courts (Crown and Magistrates Court) & Portsmouth Combined Court Centre (Crown and Magistrates Court) - PS1,395,000 Lot 2: High Wycombe Magistrates Court - PS615,000 Lot 3: Guildford Courts (Crown and Magistrates Court) - PS900,000 Lot 4: Brighton Magistrates Court - PS1,290,000 ### Lot Information Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs) for Southampton Courts (Crown and Magistrates Court) & Portsmouth Combined Court Centre (Crown and Magistrates Court) NHS England South East (the Commissioner) seeks to commission Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs) Services for Southampton Courts (Crown and Magistrates Court) & Portsmouth Combined Court Centre (Crown and Magistrates Court).

The CSTR Programme aims to develop pathways to enable and facilitate the increased use of all three treatment requirements: - Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs) - Drug Rehabilitation Requirements (DRRs) - Alcohol Treatment Requirements (ATRs) ATRs and DRRs in the South East are outside the scope of this procurement, beyond the co-ordination of CSTRs for combined orders. However, there is an expectation that MHTR and ATR & DTR providers will work closely together in the best interests of the service user, especially where it can be identified that a combined order is the best outcome. MHTR in the context of the CSTR programme is intended for the sentencing of individuals convicted of an offence(s) which has crossed the community order sentencing threshold and may be used as an alternative to short custodial sentences for individuals who may have range of mental health, personality disorder and psychological issues/vulnerabilities which do not require forensic or secondary care treatment. The aims of the service are to: * Increase the proportion of offenders with mental health issues for whom an effective mental health treatment plan is in place. * Reduce re-offending by addressing the underlying causes of offending behaviour. * Prevent custodial sentences (especially short ones), by offering robust community treatment options. * Provide tailored mental health support to the most vulnerable offenders. Individuals supported by pilot sites included those who suffered from post-traumatic stress, trauma, bipolar, personality and phobia disorders, psychosis and ASD. Secondary MHTRs are outside the scope of this service specification and should be provided through locally commissioned frameworks for secondary care. Primary MHTRs are the sole focus of this service specification. Treatment should thereby be provided by a suitable trained and experienced team of practitioners, for individuals who do not meet the criteria for secondary mental health treatment. Contracts will be for an initial term of 3 years, with a possible extension of a further three years, as defined and at the discretion of the Commissioner. Services are planned to commence on 01 July 2023. The 3 year initial term maximum contract value for this Lot is PS1,395,000.
