two.1.4) Short description

NHS England plans to expand access for people with severe and enduring mental illness to Individual Placement and Support (IPS) services to achieve over and above existing NHS Long Term Plan targets. Competing local priorities and significant regional variations in provision has meant that targets are not being realised. This project presents the opportunity for a delivery partner to co-ordinate a response to the key implementation challenges and opportunities presented by the expansion. This project would run from 23/24 – 28/29 to support the expansion of the existing IPS programme and its adherence to the IPS Fidelity Model.
A separate Single Tender Action BC-21501 for delivery of 23.24 is being submitted for approval as funding has been received so late in the financial year.

The provider will operate across 8 regional locations and 42 IPS services across England.
