The following opportunity will be issued to the market very shortly.
NHS England plans to expand access for people with severe and enduring mental illness to Individual Placement and Support services, delivering additional access above the baseline to 140,000 people over the next 5 years. This project presents the opportunity for a delivery partner to co-ordinate a response to the key implementation challenges and opportunities presented by the expansion. This project would run from 24/25 - 28/29 to support the expansion of the existing IPS programme and its adherence to the IPS Fidelity Model.
