Description

The service will be a pilot that will run for one year and the successful provider of this pilot will be a key partner in contributing towards delivering mental health support interventions in the borough. The service will be responsible for: • Recruiting the pool of therapists to meet the demand. • Managing and allocating the referrals from our local system. • Ensuring processes are in place to validate invoices before payment is given. • Clinical supervision. • Ensuring processes are in place to collect KPIs, both qualitative and quantitative, required to evaluate the service by an external provider.

The service will facilitate access to black therapists who will provide: • short-term support for a period of up to 12 sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) model is often used in mental health services. However, there are other evidence-based models that may be better suited, such as positive psychology and trauma informed care that could be utilised, ensuring a personalised intervention for the individual. • It may be apparent that Intercultural Therapy group interventions would be beneficial for individuals to address racial trauma through African centred group therapies. If this is the case, therapists recruited will need to be qualified and experienced to deliver these interventions.

It is expected that each therapist will see a person for up to 12 one-hour sessions. The service will pay the therapist with a standardised hourly rate of £83.30 per hour. This will include the administration and working with the provider on providing the agreed reporting.

The Contract will commence on 16/10/2023 for an initial period of 1 year. The Contract may be extended for an additional period of 1 year, at the sole discretion of the Authority. Value of contract: £70,000 per annum. The indicative value range for the total contract value is between £70,000 for 1 year and £140,000 for 2 year. VAT inclusive, as applicable.
