Children's Services Proposed Tender - Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing Specialist Service

Hampshire County Council's Children's Services is planning to tender for an Adult Mental Health Wellbeing Specialist Service. The successful provider would employ staff to introduce Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing (AMHW) specialist service with clinical supervision.

We would like your opinion and comments on the draft specification to finalise the specification, to allow us to embed this new specialist service into our multi-disciplinary teams.

Attached is the draft specification. We would be grateful, if you could respond to the below questions.

1. To have Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing specialism within our multi-disciplinary teams, we believe it will be best to commission a provider who employs staff who can deliver the support to families and train team colleagues. Do you agree with this solution or do you think another approach would deliver the same outcome?

2. We have a limited budget for the service of £75,000 per annum. How many hours of support / case loads could this deliver in your opinion?

3. How much time would it take to implement the service in your opinion?

4. What other considerations would we need to take into account to enable you to deliver the service and bid for this tender?

Please respond by the 11th December to pipt19admin@hants.gov.uk

If you prefer to discuss the questions in a meeting / telephone conversation, please email to arrange such a meeting.

Additional information: It is planned to publish the tender in January / February 2019.
