The MHA (1983) has recently undergone an independent review, and the UK Government has responded to this review in the form of a White Paper and provide consultation on is proposal to accept, reject or amend the independent review recommendations. To enable the flexibility to deal with any proposed changes that may come about as a result of the White Paper, an additional clause has been included within the overarching terms and conditions of this agreement. This clause stipulates that should the accepted updates to the Mental Health Act cause a material change to the contract, the contract can be terminated and re-procured in line with the updates.

  • Recurrence: If the extension option is not utilised a notice will be published circa 9 months prior to the end of this contract 31/12/24. ** The Mental Health Act is currently under review, should there be any material changes to the Act that impact the delivery of this contract the Authority reserves the right to retender the agreement in line with any updates prior to the end date of the contract.
