Solent NHS Trust Portsmouth Community Adult Mental Health Support and Recovery Service

Tender description

A VEAT notice was published for this service in 2021, 2021/S 000-026708<br/><br/>This notice is to award a further 12 month extension to the contract to the current provider, Solent Mind, for the provision of Mental Health Recovery Teams. The full transformation of the Services delivered has been delayed and there has been an increase in demand for this service. It is not an appropriate time or environment to potentially switch provider as that could de-stabilise the current provision when the AMH long term plan and Mental Health Standards are being implemented. This short term extension will provide opportunity for the Local Authority and ICS partners to confirm sourcing intentions and timetable following completion of the transformation programme. Lot 1: Extension of twelve months to a direct award of a three year contract for the provision of Mental Health Recovery Teams to the current provider Solent Mind.<br/><br/>The service had been undergoing a period of transformation and there has been an increase in mental health needs in Portsmouth.<br/><br/>The incumbent provider provides specific support and recovery services. It provides person-centred, flexible and responsive support to mental health service users of Solent NHS Trust Recovery Teams in Portsmouth, to aid them in their recovery, complementing the role of clinical and social care professionals.<br/><br/>In addition the current provider works closely with other non-statutory services and community resources to develop and promote service users' independence, peer-led opportunities and individual recovery.
