Tender description

NHS Arden GEM CSU on behalf of The NHS Commissioning Board operating as NHS England (East of England) (the Contracting Authority) wishes to commission Enhanced Mental Health services (EMHS) services for adult victims and survivors of sexual assault and abuse with complex trauma related mental health needs and/or comorbid factors that may result in their presentation being more complex. The Enhanced Mental Health service will receive referrals for two ICB areas and will offer a tertiary service, receiving these referrals from secondary care mental health services.
