It is mandatory that where individual clients do not use / require the full 8 sessions, unused sessions are 'recycled' and used for other clients.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=122973 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 8 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Aug 2022 | | 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 | ST ASAPH | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL17 0JL | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL51 Central Valleys and Bridgend | | Local authority | Rhondda Cynon Taf | | Electoral ward | Taff's Well | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CONNECT PHYSICAL HEALTH CENTRES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85312300 - Guidance and counselling services - 85312320 - Counselling services ## Release History - 28 Sep 2022 at 09:28 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=122973 - 11 Jul 2022 at 10:39 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=122973 ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/home.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
