"description": "CNWL is a combined trust that provides services throughout a person’s life, covering community, sexual health, mental health, offender care and addictions services in London, Milton Keynes and beyond. This includes providing mental health care to the North West London population of Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.
The Trust has made significant progress in improving and advancing urgent and acute care pathways. The ambition is to ensure there are a range of alternative provisions available, and for people who require an admission, the admission should be purposeful and meaningful. Early discharge is facilitated with a focus on an individual’s recovery journey and to enable them to live independently in the community and at home.
The Trust is intending on awarding a contract to provide a supported accommodation service for individuals to ‘step down’ from acute mental health inpatient units. There will be locations across all five North West London boroughs to ensure good accessibility, with adequate 24/7 on-site support.
The aim of the Step-Down service is to facilitate safe and early discharge from acute settings, bring service users back into their community as early as possible, promote independence and autonomy, and provide effective and supportive mental healthcare in the least restrictive setting possible.
The aims of the service include to:
- Support early discharge of patients from acute mental health wards safely into the community, supporting a reduction in length of stay and releasing capacity.
- Support early discharge of CNWL service users in out of area beds, including, where necessary, co-ordinating service user repatriations.
- Provide recovery-focused environments that support service users to build independence, engage with activities of daily living and remain complaint with treatment.
- Provide social care support, particularly in relation to benefits and housing process.
- Refer/ signpost patients to activities within the local community that will support recovery.
- Provide support to service users with discharge goals and ensure timely discharge is being facilitated so the Step-Down service can continue to support flow.
- Work jointly with CNWL Teams and other relevant organisations to support referrals, patient care and discharge planning, and participate in/ lead MDT Professionals meetings.
Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL) are intending to award a contract to LifeCome Care Limited following a Competitive Process under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
The lifetime value of the contract (5 years with two optional one year extensions options) is £10,652,230.
The anticipated contract start date is 01/12/2026.",

"description": "CNWL is a combined trust that provides services throughout a person’s life, covering community, sexual health, mental health, offender care and addictions services in London, Milton Keynes and beyond. This includes providing mental health care to the North West London population of Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.
The Trust has made significant progress in improving and advancing urgent and acute care pathways. The ambition is to ensure there are a range of alternative provisions available, and for people who require an admission, the admission should be purposeful and meaningful. Early discharge is facilitated with a focus on an individual’s recovery journey and to enable them to live independently in the community and at home.
The Trust is intending on awarding a contract to provide a supported accommodation service for individuals to ‘step down’ from acute mental health inpatient units. There will be locations across all five North West London boroughs to ensure good accessibility, with adequate 24/7 on-site support.
The aim of the Step-Down service is to facilitate safe and early discharge from acute settings, bring service users back into their community as early as possible, promote independence and autonomy, and provide effective and supportive mental healthcare in the least restrictive setting possible.
The aims of the service include to:
- Support early discharge of patients from acute mental health wards safely into the community, supporting a reduction in length of stay and releasing capacity.
- Support early discharge of CNWL service users in out of area beds, including, where necessary, co-ordinating service user repatriations.
- Provide recovery-focused environments that support service users to build independence, engage with activities of daily living and remain complaint with treatment.
- Provide social care support, particularly in relation to benefits and housing process.
- Refer/ signpost patients to activities within the local community that will support recovery.
- Provide support to service users with discharge goals and ensure timely discharge is being facilitated so the Step-Down service can continue to support flow.
- Work jointly with CNWL Teams and other relevant organisations to support referrals, patient care and discharge planning, and participate in/ lead MDT Professionals meetings.
Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL) are intending to award a contract to LifeCome Care Limited following a Competitive Process under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
The lifetime value of the contract (5 years with two optional one year extensions options) is £10,652,230.
The anticipated contract start date is 01/12/2026.",

"value": "CNWL is a combined trust that provides services throughout a person’s life, covering community, sexual health, mental health, offender care and addictions services in London, Milton Keynes and beyond. This includes providing mental health care to the North West London population of Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.
The Trust has made significant progress in improving and advancing urgent and acute care pathways. The ambition is to ensure there are a range of alternative provisions available, and for people who require an admission, the admission should be purposeful and meaningful. Early discharge is facilitated with a focus on an individual’s recovery journey and to enable them to live independently in the community and at home.
The Trust is intending on awarding a contract to provide a supported accommodation service for individuals to ‘step down’ from acute mental health inpatient units. There will be locations across all five North West London boroughs to ensure good accessibility, with adequate 24/7 on-site support.
The aim of the Step-Down service is to facilitate safe and early discharge from acute settings, bring service users back into their community as early as possible, promote independence and autonomy, and provide effective and supportive mental healthcare in the least restrictive setting possible.
The aims of the service include to:
- Support early discharge of patients from acute mental health wards safely into the community, supporting a reduction in length of stay and releasing capacity.
- Support early discharge of CNWL service users in out of area beds, including, where necessary, co-ordinating service user repatriations.
- Provide recovery-focused environments that support service users to build independence, engage with activities of daily living and remain complaint with treatment.
