This procurement process, currently in the "Award" stage, focuses on delivering approximately 4,000 one-hour counselling appointments over a series of up to 8 sessions for patients aged 14 and above with mild to moderate mental health needs. The deadline for the tender was set for 29 September 2021, and the award decision was concluded on 12 October 2021. The service falls under the health and social care industry category and is situated in Carmarthen, Wales. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health support services, including consortia groups that can provide short-term counselling and psychological therapy. Organisations that have experience in remote counselling delivery, such as via telephone or video platforms, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Given the increasing demand for mental health services, this contract can not only enhance service providers' portfolios but also contribute meaningfully to community health initiatives. ## Notice Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB)'s Primary care Mental Health Support service is seeking to procure short-term counselling / psychological therapy provision for a waiting list initiative. Short-term counselling / psychotherapy, (including Trauma) would need to be provided to patients aged 14 + with a range of mild-moderate mental health needs for whom counselling / psychological therapy has been identified as being an appropriate course of clinical action. Approximately 1/3 of all referrals will be for CYP 14-18 years old with the remainder being adult 18+.The specification is for the provider to deliver 500 episodes of individual counselling, with each episode being up to 8 appointments, thus totalling 4,000 one-hour counselling appointments in total. It is expected that where individual clients do not use / require the full 8 sessions, unused sessions would in effect by 'recycled' meaning that additional clients would be offered blocks of counselling, ensuring that the total of 4,000 appointments are used.The majority of PCMHSS interventions are currently being delivered remotely by telephone or using the Attend Anywhere video platform. A small number of patients approximately 10% are being seen in face to face clinics.The clients that are referred to the provider will have attended an initial appointment with a PCMHSS Practitioner and therefore have a clear and specific plan for the therapeutic intervention to be carried out. As a result, there will be no need for 're-assessment' by the provider ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=113713 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Oct 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP-PROCUREMENT SERVICES (HOSTED BY VELINDRE UNIVERSITY NHS TRUST) | | Locality | CARMARTHEN | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA31 3BB | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL42 South West Wales | | Local authority | Carmarthenshire | | Electoral ward | Carmarthen Town West | | Westminster constituency | Caerfyrddin | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PLATFFORM | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85312300 - Guidance and counselling services - 85312320 - Counselling services ## Release History - 18 Feb 2022 at 09:29 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=113713 ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://www.platfform.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
