Market Engagement for Bereaved By Suicide Service

1. To provide good quality evidence-based bereaved by suicide support to people of all ages who have been affected by a death by suicide in Suffolk (excl. Waveney) and north east Essex
2. To provide person centred bereaved by suicide support, with no time limit, access restrictions.
3. To provide bereaved by suicide support across Suffolk (excluding Waveney) and North east Essex
4. To offer a range of access routes incl. phone, text, video call and face to face

Key areas of focus will be using innovation to:

• meet the needs of underserved groups and those with complexity/vulnerability
• targeted outreach to those who have been impacted by a death by suicide who may fall outside of the current reach of the existing service. This includes but is not exclusively, wider family connections, friends, colleagues, teachers,
• realise opportunities to embed prevention.
• contribute to developing a well-supported and skilled workforce.

Contract Start Date: 1st June 2024. Contract period 3 years plus the option to extend for a further 2 years.

This request does not constitute a call for competition to procure any services.
