## Description
NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board ("BSW") sought to commission suitably qualified providers with the capability and capacity to deliver Community Mental Health Services in line with specified requirements across the BSW footprint. 
The service was procured as three lots.
Lot 1: Crisis Houses 
Providing accommodation to people experiencing a mental health crisis and that are able to receive community based support who may be at risk of mental health hospital admission and people who have been discharged from. Lot 1 also consists of Places of Calm with the aim of providing a space for individuals who are suffering from mental health issues or emotional distress to visit and receive immediate support. The service is aimed at anyone who is at risk of a mental health crisis or who is struggling to manage their mental wellbeing and would benefit from professional support.
Lot 2: Intensive Outreach
A non-clinical, person-centred, trauma-informed and recovery focused service providing support for people with serious mental illness, providing a step-up and step-down service dependent on a person's needs.  
Lot 3: Primary Mental Health Service
This service will provide early help and support for people with serious mental illness. Access and intervention will be at neighbourhood/Primary Care Network level, through an integrated primary-secondary pathway that enables easier access and offers holistic care, with a range of support services tailored for people with SMI that offer choice and flexibility
Commissioners reserved the right to add funding to the contract over its duration to accommodate service development measures or initiatives, up to an equivalent value of the original contract.  For the avoidance of doubt, this would mean an annual contract value of, for example, £440k per annum and a consequent increase in the overall contract value.
The contract durations are for 3 years plus an option to extend of any period of up to a further 2 years, with service commencement on the 1st April 2025 for all lots.
The total contract value for all lots is £25,685,486 if the full extension is adopted. 
The procurement was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
