Description

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AG CSU), on behalf of the Commissioners, West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), East Leicestershire and Rutland CCG and Leicester City CCG, are undertaking a procurement for Early help targeted mental health and emotional wellbeing support service for young people.

The CCGs are commissioning a newly specified service from April 2017, which will provide prevention and early intervention support for issues relating to low level mental health needs and emotional wellbeing, such as anxiety, isolation and mild depression, amongst a range of other concerns.

The service will include an individual to co-ordinate the service and provide regular reporting against the KPIs and a team of practitioners to be based in localities in existing Local Authority premises within the Early Help intervention teams. Young people will be identified through early help interventions and referred into this new service. The service will deliver counselling, individual support and therapeutic group work, at a greater intensity of intervention than provided by universal family support services.

It is expected that the Provider will work in an integrated way with other primary mental health services, and voluntary and community groups will be integral to the provision of the service.

Providers are now invited to bid for the service via the Bravo portal https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html
