London Enhanced Mental Health Pathfinder (EMHP) Service

NHS England (London Region) (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") invites Expressions of Interest (EoIs) and completed Invitation to Tender (ITT) submissions from all suitable providers for the delivery of The Enhanced Mental Health Pathfinder (EMHP).

The EMHP is commissioned by the Health & Justice team, as part of NHS England London's Specialised Commissioning division.

The Pathfinder:

The EMHP is a specialist service designed to improve support for adult victims and survivors of sexual assault and abuse with complex trauma-related mental health needs.

This pan London initiative is not a new service, but a pathfinder aimed at improving access, experience and outcomes by enhancing and connecting existing statutory and voluntary services.

The EMHP aims to:

• Improve access to trauma informed care for survivors with complex mental health needs
• Tackle systemic barriers such as long waiting times, fragmented provision and restrictive eligibility criteria
• Support recovery, healing and long term welling being, including for those not engaged in the criminal justice system

The procurement process has been completed and this is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice.
