NWL0061 Emotional Health and Wellbeing - Early Intervention Services - Hillingdon

The NWL CCG borough of Hillingdon requires the provision of Emotional Health and Wellbeing - Early Intervention Services. The aim of the service is to address local health inequalities and offer a person-centred approach to help young people thrive on their transition into adulthood. The service will need to be able to offer wider advice centre based support and to have a location in an area which is accessible to CYP, who don't usually access support at an early stage from health services. The service will also have an outreach offer that reaches a wider group of CYP and have robust networks with local schools and colleges.

This service will support young people (ages 13 - 25) who have experienced or may experience a range of life changing events/ trauma, all of which often make the transition to adulthood more complex and mean they can struggle to engage in more formal /clinical settings.

Key service requirements include: • Quick access to mental health and mental health support in a young person friendly hub and an accessible environment; • One to one coaching - individual, asset based over a time limited evidence-based model; • Group Wellbeing activities - needs led, promoting wellbeing and health; • Schools Sessions - wellbeing awareness, follow up one to one support for those aged 13 - 16; • Individually tailored support led and owned by young people where they set their own goals and are supported to recognise their strengths and additional support needed; • Access to wider advice to provide assistance with wider life circumstances impacting mental health e.g., housing, income, bullying, relationships; and • Collaborative multi-agency working.

The CCG currently has a contract in place with P3 to provide the above services. The contract term expires on 31st March 2022. The CCG is considering options for making future arrangements for these services and is looking to tender the opportunity, for a contract period of 2 years. The contract value is approximately £229,000.00 per annum. The purpose of this PIN is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions and to invite any capable provider interested in delivering the services described above to come forward by 14th April 2022 to engage with the CCG.

If it is the case that P3 is the only provider capable of delivering the services described, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to P3 for up to 2 years from beyond April 2022.

Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for the service going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded.

During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
