This Prior Information Notice (PIN) serves to inform the market of provider organisations in the field of mental health, well-being and talking therapy services, that NHSE East of England Health and Justice are looking to procure in the future an NHS Talking Therapies service.
It is planned that the proposed procurement will contain one lot.

The service shall be flexible and responsive to the population needs and operate a bio- psychosocial model of care; taking an individual's needs into consideration to plan holistic and integrated interventions to improve wellbeing. The service will work closely with the other prison healthcare providers (primary healthcare, mental health, and psychosocial substance misuse) and the Integrated Care System (ICS) to ensure this is implemented effectively. This shall include a tiered approach to support, dependent on need, employing warm handovers and single trusted assessments to other services which can support people's mental health and wider determinants of wellbeing.

The service shall also offer opportunities for all who access the service to be involved in participation forums to facilitate co-production and service user involvement with service improvement projects.
