two.1.4) Short description

The Partnership would like to secure a 12-month contract with an organisation best placed to support us with the development and implementation of a Lived Experience workforce strategy across the North London Mental Health Partnership (NLMHP) which spans across Barnet, Enfield and Haringey and Camden and Islington. A significant amount of work has already taken place to identify our key areas of work and C&I have also developed a related Peer Workforce strategy
this will be shared with the awarded contractor to supplement the current requirements.

We require the support of a contracted provider to develop the content and implementation of this so that it reflects the status and aspirations of the partnership i.e. ensure BEH and C&I key stakeholders views and feedback are incorporated and we conclude with a co-produced strategy which reflect the Peer & Lived Experience workforce needs of the partnership. We recognise the volume of work associated with the strategy and project to be over a 3–5-year period. We therefore do not expect all aims to be achieved within the 12 months, however, expect the outcomes to be an agreed Partnership Lived Experience Strategy for the BEH; and a co-produced and commenced implementation plan and associated timeline to accompany this.
