Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Services for West Essex

West Essex CCG is looking for a suitable provider(s) to deliver a single contract for the delivery of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Services across the West Essex area.

The national expectations of the IAPT service delivery are documented within the IAPT Manual and further developed in the Positive Practice Guides. These national documents must be used to inform the core delivery of the service. West Essex CCG has also developed its own local specification which does not rewrite the requirements and good practice guidance of these documents, but rather reinforces them and expects that they are used throughout.

The Manual describes the complexities involved in delivering an effective IAPT service, and Commissioners have built on it and the suite of Positive Practice Guides to construct their local specification.

Therefore, bidders must have regard to both the IAPT Manual and the local specification of West Essex CCG in forming their proposed service delivery model.

The maximum value of the contract is £25,622,211, inclusive of CQUIN.

Bidders must have regard to the payment model set out in the Financial Model Template (FMT) issued as a part of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) pack within the Attain Bravo E-Procurement Portal - https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk.

Bids must be submitted in line with the prices set out by the Authority within the FMT.
