The services are intended to be delivered across various locations within the UK, particularly addressing the needs within the health and criminal justice sectors. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those experienced in providing mental health and personality disorder support services. The OPD pathway is characterized by a set of psychologically-informed services aimed at reducing the risks of serious reoffending and improving mental health outcomes. Suitable businesses would likely include those capable of delivering treatment and support services in community settings, adult secure mental health services, and prisons. Additionally, businesses with expertise in training and supporting staff within these frameworks will find ample opportunities for growth and partnership through this initiative, which is a demonstrator programme evaluating new intervention approaches. Prospective providers can access detailed documentation and submit their interest via the Atamis (Health Family) portal. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of NHS England Specialised Commissioning (referred to as the Commissioner), is undertaking a market engagement exercise to understand the current and future capacity, interest and capability of potential providers in relation to delivering OPD services. This notice is to advise prospective providers in the market of the commissioner's intention to commission this service and to provide an opportunity to engage with and participate in a market engagement exercise. The outcome of this market engagement will provide commissioners with the detail required to help inform the commissioning strategy in advance of the existing contracts expiring on 31st March 2025. The deadline for completed market engagement questionnaires is 12pm (noon), Tuesday 1st October 2024. ### Lot Information Lot 1 OPD pathway is a set of psychologically-informed services operating across criminal justice and health, underpinned by a set of principles and quality standards. Using evidence-based relational and environmental approaches, it aims to reduce risk associated with serious reoffending and improve mental health within a high-risk, high-harm cohort likely to meet the clinical threshold for a diagnosis of 'personality disorder'. The OPD pathway is a jointly funded partnership between His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and NHS England. It is a long-term change programme that commissions treatment and support services nationally for people with 'personality disorder', whose complex mental health problems are linked to their serious offending. The OPD pathway has been set up as a 'demonstrator' initiative; it aims to pilot and evaluate new approaches to interventions for this highly complex group. Services for people in scope are provided in prisons, adult secure mental health services and the community. The OPD pathway provides the framework that underpins the commissioning of these services and enables health and criminal justice agencies to provide a single service offer. It also provides specialist training and support for staff. The OPD pathway is not a single entity, but a series of connected interventions and activities. All services follow the same principles and work toward the overarching OPD pathway aims but provide different functions to support people through their sentence and according to their intervention and management needs.
