The current contracted service expires 31st March 2025. NSCHT are directly awarding a contract for 3 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years, until 31st March 2030. The approximate lifetime value of the contract is £200,000 (for 3 years total, with an option to extend for 2 years). Contract Start Date: 1st April 2025 Contract End Date: 31st March 2030 This service is to provide bespoke financial and benefit advice. MLCSU, on behalf of NSCHT, previously undertook a multi-lot Competitive Process for Community Partnership Commissioning, which included: Lot 1 Health and Lifestyle Service Lot 2 Future Focus Peer Coach Service Lot 3 Financial Wellbeing Service The aim of the Competitive Process exercise, for Lot 3, was to appoint a provider to support the provision of Financial Wellbeing Management and Support (FWB) for Mental Health Services (North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent) for North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust. The service role of the Financial Wellbeing Support will offer a Monday - Friday service that arranges flexible support to people with financial difficulties within North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent. The service will advise and support patients who are under the care of CMHT's including Older Persons and the Rehab Pathway. The relevant reference number for this tender in the Atamis Portal was C318455. This ITT was made available to all Bidders who expressed a potential interest in delivering this service in line with the requirements for Health Services and mixed procurements which fall under Regulation 3 and 11 for the award of a contract with a competition, and Schedule 1 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime PSR) Regulations 2023. The process was advertised on Find a Tender (2024/S 000-036891) and there were no suitable bids for this contract on this occasion, therefore there were no recommended bidders for Lot 3 as part of this Competitive process. The contract award criteria was specified in the procurement documents. The procurement documents included the contract award criteria, including the agreed relative importance of key criteria (e.g., weighting, prioritisation) against which, bids were evaluated. This process was a mixed procurement as Lot 1 and Lot 2 were considered to be health, but Lot 3 was not. The healthcare element was more than 50% of the total value of the 3 contracts and therefore a mixed procurement approach was taken, in accordance with PSR regulation 11 for the procurement of these 3 contracts. Lot 3 itself is considered to be non-health and therefore PSR will not apply. Public Contracts Regulations 2015 applies , There is an existing service already in place with Citizens Advice Staffordshire North & Stoke-o... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/financial-wellbeing-service-community-partnership-commissioning-ocds-h6vhtk-04e58c) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85321000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Description:** This is a Contract Award Notice and is published under the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015.
