two.1.4) Short description
Specific funding for a local safe space was provided in 2020 by NHSE, totalling £357,005 for the initial contract period and a competitive tender process was followed by the CCG to identify an appropriate provider. Following this the contract was awarded to a voluntary sector consortium headed by Touchstone, which included Spectrum People and Gasped. The funding at that time was only sufficient to provide a three night a week service, with the intention from the outset being to provide a full seven night a week service, once funding was available. In February 2021, as part of an ICS-wide crisis transformation funding bid, WCCG was successful in securing a further £928,000 from NHSE/I to meet the additional mental health crisis need – the intention is now to use this funding to increase the existing Safe Space service offer to a seven night a week model.

Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated without a prior call for competition
- Additional deliveries by the original supplier
Explanation:
The CCG was successful with this bid and the funding will be applied to its existing Safe Space service as they provide the specialist expertise/service required in this case and it is the only source of such support within the CCG’s locality. In addition, there are clear benefits to be gained from maintaining continuity with an earlier project. For example, we already have a skilled workforce, in addition to an appropriate estate that is now well known to both users of the service and other professional partners.
