Total Quantity or Scope

NHS Frimley CCG intend to award this contract to TalkPlus to enable service continuity while they better understand the long-term impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on demand for IAPT services, including provision of support into a Long Covid pathway. This direct award proposal will provide additional time for NHS Frimley CCG to complete and embed work and to embark on a formal procurement process in 2022, with a more informed understanding on what the additional demand for IAPT services will be post pandemic. The ongoing development of IAPT services are also an essential objective of the NHS Long Term Plan. This set the objective of expanding IAPT access to a total of 1.9 million adults and older adults nationally. This objective was set prior to the pandemic, which is expected to further increase the demand for services. … Additional information: Instructions on how to access the project via our E-tendering portal: 1) Browse the SoEPS Commissioning Support portal: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning 2) Click the "Register" link on the left-hand side of the page. 3) Enter your correct business and user details. 4) Note the email address and password chosen and Click "Register My Company" when complete. 5) Login to the portal with the username/password. 6) You will be prompted to change your password on first login. 7) Hover your mouse over the "Tenders" button on the main toolbar and choose the relevant option: - "My Tenders" shows a list of the opportunities in which you have already expressed an interest or to which you have been invited; - "Awarded" shows a list of tenders awarded on the system (where these are were open to all); - "Current" shows a list of all the advertised opportunities on the system (i.e. open to all) in which you are able to express an interest; - "Forthcoming" shows a list of pipeline projects (including those in which providers can still express an interest - i.e. deadlines not yet reached). 8) Click on the "View Details" button for relevant opportunity to access the content, clicking "Express an Interest" where required to do so. 9) Any questions on specific opportunities should be directed through the portal messaging facility.
