Prior information notice (PIN) Mental Health Accommodation October 2020

Tender description

Islington Council is reviewing the borough’s mental health accommodation services. Following this review, the council is looking to commission a range of strength-based, recovery focused accommodation services that offer greater choice and control and complement the existing mental health pathways and services. Our vision is for a mental health accommodation pathway where Islington residents have greater control over their health and wellbeing, and are supported to live healthier lives. The pathway will proactively promote independence and lead to residents successfully living in their own homes. All mental health pathway services will deliver flexible support that is effective, and provide a positive experience within a high quality and homely environment. All services will work collaboratively with other mental health pathway, community and universal services to realise the vision. Islington Council is looking to procure new accommodation support and residential care services over the next two years. The procurement will take place in phases as current contracts expire. Contracts will vary in size and may cover multiple sites. This is not an invitation to tender nor does it preclude or favour eligibility to participate in the formal procurement once it starts. It is a process solely to test the current market capacity, to scope the services, engage with a wide range of stakeholders and inform the procurement process. Details in this PIN are subject to being updated or changed in the final contract notice. Keywords: Accommodation, Mental Health
