Staffordshire County Council (SCC) is running a Mental Health Social Inclusion and Recovery contract bidders briefing event on 10.2.2016 at Rudyard Suite, Ground Floor, Staffordshire Place 1, Stafford, ST16 2LP from 10:00-12:30 to inform you about the future procurement of a new Mental Health Social Inclusion and Recovery Service contract to commence 1.10.2016. The Mental Health Social Inclusion and recovery contract will be for the delivery of a range of mental health services to Adults within the Contract Area based on the recovery approach, co-production and social inclusion principles taking a whole systems approach within the community. This will include the opportunities for 1-to-1 direct support in the community, peer support, safe space provision and structured programmes of activity. This will be based on an individuals assessed need, and recovery plan that will be reviewed and will demonstrate the achievement of outcomes for that individual. Note: Mental Health refers to functional mental illness; these services are not targeted at people who are experiencing a dementia. In order to achieve this model of care, there will be 3 geographical lots whereby a prime provider may be required for each of the 3 lots who shall develop partnerships via subcontracting arrangements with other experienced and appropriate providers that have direct contact and experience with target populations. We wish all Providers of Mental Health Social and Recovery Services to come along to this event. Please email: commissioning.team@staffordshire.gov.uk to attend the event. An agenda for the event will be sent out w/c 1.2.2016. Also would any Providers interested in this future opportunity please: — Register an expression of interest, using the above reference number for this process on our E-tendering Alito system http://www.staffordshire.alito.co.uk/ For the avoidance of doubt this is a market engagement event and not a call for competition.
