MENTAL HEALTH ACCOMMODATION BASED SUPPORT

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS FT currently provides Mental Health Supported Accommodation services by way of subcontracts with third party suppliers.

The services required fall within schedule 3 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) and therefore are not bound by all of its requirements.The council required a 6 month award to extend the arrangements to work with Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS FT and subcontracted providers to implement independent review recommendations and to ensure that the ongoing care and support for adults with Serious Mental Illness is not put at risk, particularly with the emerging COVID-19 pandemic.
