This opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector presents a chance to tender for providing crisis support services in West Sussex.

This direct award is necessary to: A) Allow the Sussex-wide review of all existing Staying Well services (of which the Crisis Cafes are included) and the subsequent findings and supporting recommendations to be agreed by the NHS Sussex Executive Board. B) The completion of the Sussex-wide review to ensure equality and consistency of service delivery across the NHS Sussex footprint. The Crisis Cafes are a key component of the mental health crisis and urgent care pathway in West Sussex and it is essential that the existing service continues to support both new and existing service users who experience mental health crisis whilst the Sussex-wide review outcomes are evaluated to determine the future commissioning intentions for NHS Sussex Mental Health Staying Well Services.
