Publisher note: The Partnership welcomes innovation and that provider(s) aim(s) set out their ambitions and vision to deliver the services being tendered in line with the specification. However, the Partnership expects the provider(s) work with the Partnership post-contract-award to work to tailor key aspects of the commissioned services to ensure services complement the specific community models of each borough. Provider(s) are reassured that any tailoring will not impact on resources and costs post the contract award. For the re-tendering of this service, we have shifted from an input (number of whole-time equivalents deployed) to an outcome-based approach. Provider(s) will be expected to deliver an Activity Based Plan to demonstrate how we are providing more help to people who need our services. (Appendix 1 - KPIs provides the detail).<br/> <br/>This specification will be reviewed regularly and may need to be amended in response to changes in national policy, identification of changing local need, changes in best practice and changes to financial allocations. Provider(s) must be prepared to enter negotiations if such changes are required and allow for variation of this specification as a result. The aim is to commission an Integrated Voluntary Care Sector (IVCS) service(s) that reflects the local demographic and population requirements. The current Standard Operating Policies (SOPs) for the three boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey can be found at Appendix 1 and provide the necessary service detail. <br/><br/>Unforeseen situations may emerge which have not been planned for or included within the specification and the provider(s) may need to work beyond the remit of this specification to ensure that people’s needs are fully met. These incidences should be reported to the Partnership to inform any service and specification amendments that may be required.<br/><br/>Working alongside the Partnership’s borough-based Divisions, the provider(s) must deliver a needs-based collaboration across the borough. The provider(s) will be expected to work with the Core teams as part of mobilisation to agree on integrated care delivery.<br/><br/>The VCS services commissioned through this contract will be expected to be innovative and flexible in-service delivery. The provider(s) of these services will be expected to ensure there are good risk assessment processes in place to support delivery. They will embed the use of volunteers and peer support in their service offer to maximise delivery of excellent outcomes.<br/><br/>The services being commissioned under each lot will include 3 main components as part of our new multi-disciplinary blended community mental health model:<br/><br/>• Intensive psycho-social support and key working service<br/>• Targeted support to address health inequalities, including reducing barriers to residents in accessing mental health support. <br/>• Development of new community assets and resources to promote mental wellbeing in our communities.
