As part of the development of a Veterans Mental Health & Wellbeing Pathway, the Scottish Government is seeking views and information from industry and the market place in connection with the areas set out in this Request for Information (RFI).
Regional spokes are required to facilitate and coordinate more local support for the veteran to meet presenting needs and preferences. Part of this support may include, access to specific peer support, from those who understand military service life and associated challenges. The regional spokes may also provide an equitable network of evidence-based digital therapeutic interventions that are clinically supported and offered where appropriate.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The intention is that this procurement would cover the broad requirements to provide services to enable the operation of the regional spokes and in turn support the wider objectives of the veterans mental health and wellbeing pathway. The contract would be to cover services across Scotland but will recognise the planned vision for NHS Scotland to move to a subnational structure, split into 2 regions.
We anticipate that the provider of the regional spoke would be required to collaborate with existing third sector and statutory providers of services to ensure that veterans can receive the tailored care and support they need from the most appropriate provider.
