• Supporting mental health recovery and rehabilitation
• Linking with broader system and locality-based provision to develop and strengthen community assets for people with mental health conditions
• Supporting the reduction of digital exclusion to enable more mental health clients to access support via digital options where appropriate

• In addition to the above, Herefordshire and Worcestershire Mental Health Collaborative will in the course of this engagement consider additional services to be included in this approach.
An initial Market Engagement Event is being held virtually over MS Teams on 5th June 2023 9.30-12pm. To attend this event please formally express interest through the Atamis etender portal as detailed below. Please note that further market engagement activity will be conducted with those providers that have expressed interest in this Notice, so providers should ensure they express interest even if they are unable or uninterested in attending the engagement event on the 5th June 2023.
This PIN as a call for competition is initially published as a notice for expressions of interest and particularly about the market engagement activity being undertaken throughout June 2023. The Commissioners may then choose to proceed directly to a commissioning process with parties who have responded to the notice and there will be no further notice published. EOIs received will be used to help the Commissioners finalise their commissioning and contracting approach for these services.

If you are not already registered on the system you will need to do so before you can fully access the opportunity.
Should the Commissioners proceed to a procurement process it is anticipated to consist of two stages: (1) Stage 1 shortlisting stage to test the capability and capacity of potential provider collaboratives and to identify whether there is more than one capable provider alliance; (2) Stage 2 will either be: (a) a competitive process (if more than one capable provider alliance is identified at Stage 1), which may involve dialogue and will involve assessment of bids against published evaluation criteria and weightings; or (b) an alliance "Assurance Process" with a single provider, if only one capable provider alliance is identified at Stage 1. Both approaches will involve evidence being considered by subject matter experts and assessed against critical success factors and expected minimum standards.
