## Summary

The South West London & St. Georges Mental Health NHS Trust is planning a procurement process for a supported living forensic step-down service titled "SWL Forensic Stepdown". The procurement is in the planning stage, focusing on services within the miscellaneous health services category. The service is intended for delivery across six boroughs in South West London. This initial market engagement involves a survey closing on Wednesday, 20 November 2024, at 11:45 PM. The key objective is to gather insights from specialist providers experienced in forensic mental health step-down services to inform the business case and service model development. Further communication and potential launch of the tender are expected by the summer of 2025, with a future notice likely in September 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in forensic mental health services, particularly those with expertise in managing adults stepping down from secure inpatient settings.

Engaging in this market preparation phase allows potential providers to influence the scope and approach of the eventual service, positioning themselves as key partners for the South London Mental Health and Community Partnership, hence facilitating growth and long-term collaboration in the public health sector.
