This contract involves providing short-term residential mental health crisis interventions and support over a period of up to 7 days, aimed at individuals experiencing mental health crises. The specific procurement falls within the health and social work services category and is situated in the UKJ4 region. The standstill period commenced following the publication of this notice on 2nd January 2025, with representations by providers due by 16th January 2025. The new contract, if awarded, is intended to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, pending compliance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement method used is a limited tender through a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in mental health crisis intervention services. Engaging in this contract can enhance business revenue while contributing to the improvement of mental health services within the region. Businesses that excel in quality, innovation, and social value, and can demonstrate the ability to integrate and collaborate with existing health services, are well-positioned to compete. The assessment criteria heavily consider factors like quality and innovation (40%), social value (10%), and other relevant criteria. Given the immediacy and nature of this service, experienced providers like Hestia, the current awardee, are potentially suitable candidates for similar future contracts. ## Notice A Crisis House is a service that offers short-term residential mental health crisis interventions and support for a duration of up to 7 days, for individuals who are experiencing mental health crisis. Analysis of local NHS Mental Health inpatient admissions evidences a cohort of inpatients whose needs could be met in a Crisis House as an alternative to inpatient admission which will offer significant benefits to service users. Crisis Houses can prevent possible hospital admission and ensure only those who are acutely unwell or at very high risk of suicide are admitted to hospital. Crisis Houses are embedded within a number of ICSs, with a number of positive outcomes including high service user satisfaction and decreased reliance upon acute inpatient admission. Underpinning the philosophy of Crisis House provision is social inclusion and linking with the wider VCSE service provision. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A Crisis House is a service that offers short-term residential mental health crisis interventions and support for a duration of up to 7 days, for individuals who are experiencing mental health crisis.
