Businesses specialising in therapy and having qualified CBT and EMDR therapists would be well-suited to maximise such opportunities due to the urgent demand and targeted service requirements reflected in the procurement process.

If upon review it has been identified that their needs can be satisfactorily met by the sub-contractor, these cases will be allocated to the sub-contractor to complete their treatment. 108 cases will be referred. A weekly interface meeting will be scheduled to ensure the PTP has the relevant therapist (with the correct qualifications), as well as capacity to support the CYP in a timely manner. This will result in improved access waits and overall wait-to-treatment time. Those waiting the longest will be considered first. The use of outcome measures will demonstrate an improvement in the wellbeing of appropriate cases The provider will identify appropriately qualified therapists for each CYP, this will be discussed at the weekly interface which functions as the conduit for information between trust and individual therapists The CYP will have been assessed and had safety calls from NSFT's CFYP teams to ascertain risk and intervention level, and to record a risk and safety plan on Lorenzo should the young person make contact with CFYP via Duty or other NSFT services such as CAIST or 111 option 2.

### Procurement Information

The award must be made urgently in order to achieve the objectives and outcomes of the contract for the impacted population the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and is not attributable to the relevant authority delaying the award of the contract to conduct a full application of the regime would likely pose a risk to patient or public safety as this would cause a material and significant delay which would result in non-provision of the service for the population. This will cause delays to treatment, and has potential for deterioration of those awaiting treatment. Due to the urgency a brief market test was completed, there was only one provider with the required capacity.
