description
The NHS in Devon are seeking to engage with the market to help determine the most effective method of collaborating and working with the VSCE/I sector in order to commission and deliver an enhanced range of community mental health services.
This Prior Information Notice as a Call for Competition (PIN) seeks feedback from the market to inform the future requirements. The full scope of the services is in the process of being defined, and the Commissioners will be holding a series of market engagement activities with the aim of:
| • | Engaging with and enabling the market, particularly VCSE/I participants |
| • | Understanding the interest there might be in providing such services from suitably qualified VCSE/I providers, and the manner in which the services can best be collaboratively provided |
| • | Co-produce the service specification for a VCSE/I Alliance and informing the commissioning and contracting process |
An initial Market Engagement Event is being held virtually over MS Teams on 7 July 2021. To attend this event please formally express interest through the In-Tend portal as detailed below. Please note that further market engagement activity will be conducted with those providers that have expressed interest in this Notice, so providers should ensure they express interest even if they are unable or uninterested in attending the specific Engagement Event on the 7 July.
The expected services, with a total value of £3.65 million over a 3 year period, under consideration for commissioning are:
| • | Psychological Therapies |
| • | Community Development |
| • | Rehabilitation and recovery navigation |
| • | Support for people with older people's mental health needs |
The proposed objectives of the service are:
| • | Link with broader system and locality-based provision to develop and strengthen community assets for people with mental health conditions (Community Development) |
| • | Reduce loneliness and isolation with a specific focus on older people's mental health |
| • | Support the reduction of digital exclusion to enable more mental health clients to access support via digital options where appropriate. |
| • | Support the mental health recovery and rehabilitation delivery by commissioning a recovery navigator function |
| • | Delivery of therapeutic interventions to support and maintain people's mental health in the community to include delivery of psychological therapies for clients whose needs sit between Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) and Step 4 Psychological Therapies |
| • | Support and contribute to multi-disciplinary team approach and person-centred care planning where appropriate |
The Commissioners seek Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from providers who have the capability and capacity to take part in the delivery (whether that be in a major or minor capacity) of the Services within Devon (Devon, Plymouth and Torbay), either within a specific locality or across the entire geography.
In addition to the above, Devon Partnership Trust and Devon Clinical Commissioning Group will in the course of this engagement consider additional services to be included in this approach. Additional services up to a total of £1.326 million per annum may be considered for future involvement within any subsequent contract following this process. This would include services relating to counselling, bereavement, employment support and services commissioned within the VCSE/I sector linked to Community Mental Health Framework. Further to this, services relating to urgent and emergency mental health, crisis cafés within Devon, Plymouth and Torbay may also be considered.
