This service aims to offer psychological interventions through typed therapy, catering to patients facing barriers to traditional services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline of 10th February 2023. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses specializing in health services to expand their operations by offering innovative psychological interventions. Companies experienced in providing digital therapy services and meeting strict delivery timeframes would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust seeks to enhance patient choice and increase access to IAPT services, creating growth opportunities for providers offering alternative therapy delivery methods. ## Notice To provide IAPT evidence-based psychological interventions for patients who may encounter a range of barriers to accessing traditional services or who may prefer therapy via typed talk. ### Lot Information Lot 1 To provide IAPT evidence-based psychological interventions for patients who may encounter a range of barriers to accessing traditional services or who may prefer therapy via typed talk. To offer more choice and to further support ongoing work to keep waiting times as low as possible for the people of Sheffield accessing IAPT interventions Sheffield IAPT currently offer face to face, video and phone consultations within office hours. Patients need to be able to access CBT outside of traditional delivery routes and methods. We are looking for a provider who can offer typed IAPT compliant interventions with appropriate IAPT compliant supervision as an alternative delivery mode for patients, to increase the volume of patients accessing IAPT services and to provide further choice of how patients receive their treatment. We would also like to have the option to activate with the provider the possibility for patients to have a direct referral route into assessment by a psychological wellbeing practitioner and then enter treatment as appropriate with a psychological wellbeing practitioner and/or cognitive behavioural psychotherapist as clinically appropriate. Assessment and treatment would be via typed therapy, with IAPT compliant supervision. Large volumes of patients access the IAPT service and need to enter therapeutic treatment within short nationally and locally agreed timeframes. The digital provider will increase the volume of patients to be seen and within target timescales and offer typed therapy as an alternative medium for therapy that the Sheffield IAPT service currently offers. Across Sheffield IAPT there are considerable pressures to deliver appropriate care to patients in the context of increasing national IAPT access targets and maintaining the standards for waiting times and recovery. These pressures include: Therapist capacity, availability, and facilities. Patient demand across whole of the Sheffield Demands for service access outside core clinical hours. Provision of out of hours treatment. The authority is looking to contract for an initial 12 months with an option to extend by 12 months plus 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000582-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 10 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S60 2UD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE34 Rotherham | | Local authority | Rotherham | | Electoral ward | Boston Castle | | Westminster constituency | Rotherham | | Delivery location | TLE32 Sheffield | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 9 Jan 2023 at 15:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000582-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.shsc.nhs.uk - https://www.sth.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
