Description

Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) is extending a number of current Community Mental Health Supporting Services contracts by 1-2 years. This is being undertaken in order to align the services to the emerging BNSSG Community Mental Health Programme (CMHP) and avoid gaps in services prior to the final design and configuration of the ICB's community mental health offer being fully established. If the ICB does not award contract extensions it would significantly increase health inequalities, leaving gaps within the pathway, and without a clear alterative in place. Without a clear direction of travel, services may lose staff at a time when people with mental health problems are at their most vulnerable. Ending of contracts would not support the system's strategic direction and would not support people with mental health needs, who are particularly disadvantaged. All the relevant Providers are providing a service of acceptable quality that meets the needs and expectation of the ICB and patients. The ICB has no concerns regarding the proposed providers' ability to deliver the service. As a result of all the material factors noted above, the negotiated procedure without prior publication is justified under regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) 'competition is absent for technical reasons'. The 24/25 value of this notice, which is split across 14 separate contracts, is £8,106,053. The 25/26 value of this notice, which is split across 20 separate contracts (inclusive of the aforementioned 14), is £11,419,814. The total value of this notice for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026 is £19,525,867. The services to which this aggregated Notice applies to are: 1. Bristol Changes 2. Bristol Hearing Voices Group 3. Bristol Mind (Mindline) 4. HOPE (Second Step) 5. Missing Link (Women's Crisis House) 6. Nilaari 7. Self Injury Support Group 8.
