This is particularly unjust when we know approaches that are effective in supporting people to live more fulfilling lives. Individuals presenting with emotional dysregulation and associated high levels of risk, can be placed outside ABUHB for intensive residential treatment (including low-secure placements) and can be challenging to repatriate or integrate into the community– often resulting in hospital admissions away from home for many years. Transition from Children’s Mental Health Services to Adult Mental Health Services has continued to be a priority following the recent Welsh Government Guidance on the management, handover and accountability of healthcare services for young people. There is an expectation from the Welsh Government that public services will work in a more collaborative way, identifying and capitalising on opportunities to work together to improve services for the people of Wales.

The intended length of stay at Acer is 6 – 24 months in order that tenants are prepared and supported to gain full independent Living. The intended age range will 18-25, though engagement could begin with individuals from the age of 17 to prepare them for the next step in their pathway. In addition, if someone falls outside of the age range (25 +) and would benefit from staying here this would need to be agreed and discussed by the project group. The expectation would be that the commissioned provider works in close partnership with the Hiraeth Team. The Hiraeth Team would be responsible for identifying who might benefit from a placement at Acer House and will work collaboratively with the commissioned provider to develop an individualised repatriation/prevention plan, based on a clear, detailed psychological formulation of clinical need and risk (and how to manage this within m... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/complex-emotional-needs-support-service-ocds-h6vhtk-05172f) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85100000, 85300000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 30/09/2025 to 02/10/2028 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F022722-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-05-19T13:53:51.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-11-01T09:08:07.799Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05172f
