Description

NWL CCG requires the provision of Counselling Services in Tamil dialect to families in North West London. The aim of the service is to provide service users access to counselling in Tamil dialect to Tamil families dealing with posttraumatic stress related to the war, wide mental health inequalities, and more recently the COVID pandemic. The services addresses health inequalities in the Hillingdon borough and provides additional support for families and CYP in greatest need around Mental Health, social isolation, supporting early intervention, and aiming to reduce crisis.

The CCG currently has contract arrangements in place with EACH to a value of £8,329.00 per annum. The service works in an integrated model and is aligned with HHCP and the wider community wrap around support. The CCG is currently of the view that EACH provides the best value for money care to the community and the intention of this notice is to be transparent in the desire to award a further contract to EACH beyond May 2022.

If it is that EACH is the only provider capable of delivering the service, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to the provider for up to 36 months beyond May 2022.

Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services 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.
