National Infrastructure Support for IPS Expansion
Reference Number : Tender_1855
People with severe mental health problems have low rates of employment. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a supported employment model which supports people with serious mental health problems into employment.
Main Site : England
People with severe mental health problems have low rates of employment. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a supported employment model which supports people with serious mental health problems into employment, and is supported by a wealth of international evidence, following the principles of "place and train". It consists of intensive, individual support, rapid job search followed by placement in paid employment, and time-unlimited in-work support for both the employee and the employer.
NHS England have committed to doubling access to IPS for people with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) by 2020/21 as part of their response to the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health recommendations.
NHS England transformation funding is being allocated in two targeted waves:
1. The first wave will support the expansion of well-established, high quality IPS services through 2018/19 and 2019/20;
2. The second wave of funding will support increasing provision in other areas that have IPS services which require further development, or no current IPS service provision through 2019/20 and 2020/21.
This contract should support both Wave 1 who are entering their second year of implementation, and Wave 2 sites in their first year of implementation i.e. runs through the remainder of 2018/19 and throughout 2019/20.
This procurement exercise will be conducted via the Authority's e-tendering portal (https://nhsengland.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html). There will be no hard-copy documents issued to Potential Providers and all communications between Potential Providers and the Authority, including tender submissions will be through the e-tendering portal.
