Overview
As part of the commitments of the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS England are progressing arrangements to commission, via 7 lots, a Veterans' Mental Health High Intensity Service Pathfinder that will provide both inpatient and community-based crisis response services. An important element of service delivery will be to monitor and evaluate patient outcomes, with learning and insight from the Pathfinder informing the development of future Veterans' mental health services from 2022.
The Pathfinder, to be delivered as 7 Networks, will launch in April 2020 and run until end of March 2022. Network Lead Providers will be responsible for sourcing partners and subcontractors by making the most of the experienced independent, voluntary and third sectors to enable the best provider-mix possible from medical, psychological, social and welfare backgrounds to attain equity of services and value for money.
The procurement process will be facilitated entirely online via eu-supply.com Applicants should register and complete the online questionnaires hosted on the portal prior to the deadline for submission.
