This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the tender stage. The contract has an estimated value of £823,000 and is expected to be active initially across two community hubs located in Livingston and Bathgate, as well as in all GP practices in West Lothian. The tender submission deadline is set for 11 March 2019, with the bid opening also scheduled on the same day. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health services, community health support, and holistic care solutions. Potential bidders should ideally have experience in similar service provision and must be registered with the Care Inspectorate to support adults with mental health problems. Companies that can demonstrate robust financial stability, hold relevant insurance coverages, and showcase past successful project implementations would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice The establishment of a Community Link Worker and Wellbeing Practitioner Service will support adults (aged 18 to 65 years) with moderate Mental Health problems to manage their health and wellbeing. Support will be person-centred and delivered via two community hubs - one in the refurbished building in the grounds of St John Hospital in Livingston, and the other in Boghall Clinc in Bathgate, and in all GP Practices in West Lothian for a defined number of sessions per week. In the first instance, support will be available Monday to Friday between the hours of 9am and 5pm, although this may alter depending on the demand for the service. Some out-of-hours work is likely. As this is a new Service, some flexibility of the Provider's part is expected. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The contract will provide early intervention person-centred support through a Community Link Worker and Wellbeing Practitioner Service to adults (aged 18 to 65 years) with moderate Mental Health problems to assist them in managing their symptoms and improving their wellbeing.
