Lancashire & South Cumbria Adults Mental Health-Lot 1 Peer Support, Lot 2 PH SMI

Description

NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (MLCSU) has been working on behalf of NHS Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) who were looking to undertake a multi-lot Competitive Process for the provision of Adult Mental Health Services (Lot 1 - Peer Support and Lot 2 - Physical Health Checks for people with Serious Mental Illness (PH SMI) Outreach Service).
During 2023 and 2024 the community Mental Health Transformation programme has worked to coproduce an integrated model of support for people living with severe mental illness, develop pathways and articulate what interventions are required to support people to live well in their local communities. This work has informed what services will be required as part of the model going forward.
The ICB is committed to providing stability to the sector and a model of services is being proposed, which will procure services. 
It was the intention of the ICB to start commissioning contracts for the above services from 1st December 2024 for 2 years and 4 months, with an option to extend for a further 2 years.
