Official UK procurement notice
Crisis Cafe · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe NHS Long Term Plan (LTP) championed the development of crisis cafes to offer an alternative approach in relation to supporting a self-defined menta health crisis that is not necessarily clinically assessed or defined. Through the provision of additional funding through the Long-Term Plan and capital investment available through 'Beyond Places of Safety' initiatives the Trust alongside partners were able to develop Crisis cafes across the CWP footprint
The cafe is viewed by professionals and public as a core part of the health and care service offer. A break in this service offer would be detrimental to the hundreds of patients who use this service every month. It is recommended this contract is extended until the competitive process is actioned by the end of this year. In parallel a competitive procurement exercise will begin.
