NWL0075 Provision of CYP Co-production Programme services in North West London

NWL CCG requires the provision of 'ReThink' (Inner Cluster) CYP Co-production Programme services in Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster and Hammersmith & Fulham. The aim of the service is to provide service users access to involvement in co-production activites, such as planning and delivery of mental health services within the the three CCG areas. Children and Young People (CYP) resident in the three boroughs who have lived experience of mental health themselves or in their families will lead this work as 'Young Champions'.

The service aims to include the voice of Children and Young People (CYP) to improve services across the Inner Cluster CCG's in NW London. The Inner Cluster is committed to embedding co-production into the strategic outcomes of CAMHS. The purpose of co-production is widely recognised to demonstrate a vital role in achieving positive outcomes within mental health services. Implementing co-produced services is challenging and complex.

The service objectives:

-Recruit to young champions who can assist to co-produce and deliver on the agreed work streams: -Mapping of Co-Production Activities in the Inner Cluster

-Bringing providers of co-production activities together at a steering group -Young people trained to co-chair the steering group

-Leading on sharing information and training on co-production for the Inner cluster

The CCG currently has current arrangements in place with the 'ReThink' Young Champions Community Group Charitable Provider. The purpose of this PIN is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions to initiate another 18 month contract with the current provider while considering options for making future arrangements for this service.

Providers capable to deliver the service may come forward by 29th April 2022 to engage with the CCG. In your response to this opportunity, please advise your interest and demonstrate capacity and capability to deliver this service via:

If it is that the 'ReThink' Young Champions Community Group Charitable Provider are the only provider capable of delivering the service, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to the provider for up to 18 months beyond April 2022.

Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded.

During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
