Lot — bid on it if it fits

This contract has one lot. Bid if it suits your firm.

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust (SFT) (“the Head Provider”) has been commissioned by Somerset ICS and Somerset County Council (SCC) (“the Commissioners”) to deliver community-based support for mental health services. As the Head Provider, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust will sub-contract to the successful Provider/Alliance of Providers for the provision of these services. In 2019, Somerset ICS was awarded “Trailblazer” funding to support a transformative approach to Mental Health Services in Community Settings, with Somerset Foundation Trust being commissioned by the Commissioners to deliver these services in alignment with the principles jointly developed as part of the submission. Somerset Foundation Trust is now seeking a Provider/Alliance of Providers with whom to deliver and strengthen the service model. As the second most rural county in England, Somerset has a rapidly ageing population, instances of digital poverty, poor public transport, and road infrastructure and which means travel times across the county are often longer than in other areas. Within Somerset we know we need to further strengthen a transformational approach to improving mental health due to: - The need to continue to deliver the successful Open Mental Health mode; across community and urgent offers and into communities. - The need for greater engagement with the people and their carers who access services. - Increased demand and complexity of those with mental health needs with demand outstripping capacity. - The continuing need to support our non-elective and emergency acute colleagues. The term of this contract is three years from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2027 with the option to extend by a further 2 x 12-month periods to 31 March 2029.Value not published
