Mental Health Recovery & Wellbeing Services Contract Award Recommendations
The Recovery & Wellbeing Services procurement and subsequent award of contracts represents a long standing commitment to modernise and transform day services for people with mental health issues. The aim is to deliver a more effective and efficient service model to meet local needs by developing a fully coordinated recovery orientated system of local voluntary sector provision. This is a key priority of the Tower Hamlets Health and Wellbeing Board Mental Health Strategy Delivery Plan (2014-19).
The aim of the procurement for lot 1 is to bring together seventeen services or contracts currently provided by the voluntary sector, within one contract, with a lead provider and sub-contracted organisations working in partnership around the core principles of recovery; so enabling better service user outcomes. The proposed model is known as Mental Health Recovery & Wellbeing Service.
In addition, lot 2 is the procurement of a Recovery College to operate within the recovery and wellbeing model. The Recovery College will provide an educational based approach to recovery from mental health problems and other long term conditions and is based on lessons learned from previous pilots.
Previous contracts in this lot are due to expire at the end of June 2016. A decision is required on the award of new contracts in line with original Cabinet commitments.
