In plain English
The NHS mental health trust for Teesside wants an organisation to run a new non-clinical crisis support service for adults aged 18 and over across Redcar and Cleveland, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Hartlepool. The service offers practical and emotional help to people in crisis who do not need medical treatment, working alongside the trust's existing crisis and home treatment teams, and it takes referrals from urgent care.
What the buyer wants
• Set up and run a flexible, responsive support service for adults in crisis across all four Teesside council areas, including older people. • Work in partnership with the trust's crisis, intensive home treatment and urgent care teams, with clear referral and risk management arrangements. • Engage people who traditionally find it hard to access mental health services, and contribute to national plans to reduce reliance on crisis services.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The £1.25 million value, the requirement to demonstrate proven crisis or mental health delivery at scale, and the need to cover all four Teesside areas would likely rule out most small businesses unless they bid as part of a consortium with established NHS or mental health experience.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
