Request for Quotation - Suicide Bereavement Services for NHS Lincolnshire CCG

NHS Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified providers for Suicide Bereavement Services ("the service"), to be delivered across the population of Lincolnshire. It should be noted that as of 01st July 2022 the CCG will cease to exist therefore any contract will novate over to the CCG successor body.

The overarching aim of the service is to ensure that accessible information and timely support is available to all those exposed, affected or bereaved by (suspected) suicide in order to minimise the emotional impact, promote recovery and reduce further suicides.

The service contract is for 1 year with the option to extend for a further 12 months subject to performance and confirmation of funding. It is recognised that the service and the system will need to learn and adapt to the dynamic needs of the population throughout the duration of the service, and collaborative working between provider and commissioners will be critical to success. The service will need to be operational by 01st November 2022.

Please note there is a financial threshold associated with this procurement. Any bids received exceeding £120,000 per annum over the term of the contract will be excluded from evaluation and disqualified from the process. No bids over £120,000 per annum will be accepted.
