The Growth Company Expression of Interest Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care Service

The Growth Company is seeking to engage with key partners for our bid to Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) to deliver the Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care (IPSPC) service for Greater Manchester (GM) residents.

We are seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from local providers with recent experience of delivering an IPS (or similar) service, on an end-to-end basis who can clearly demonstrate their knowledge and experience of working with the target cohort in line with the principles of the IPS Fidelity Model. In line with our inclusive procurement policy and the wider National Procurement Policy Statement, we welcome responses from VCFSE organisations and SMEs.

The service will support individuals with a physical or mental health disability (as defined by the Equality Act 2010 or the Social Model of Disability), or those in as specific disadvantaged group. Participants will come from two distinct cohorts:
