BEH - Integrated Voluntary Community Sector Services (IVCS)

The North London Mental Health Partnership (the “Partnership” comprising Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust (BEHMHT) and Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I)) wishes to commission a range of mental health integrated voluntary and community sector (VCS) support in three lots for residents aged 18 and over with moderate to severe mental illness for the boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. These services will act as a key component in BEHMHT’s the Partnership’s model for community mental health and wellbeing support. BEHMHT The Partnership is seeking to award three contracts by the way of the following three lots:

• Lot 1: Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust The Barnet Division covering the borough of Barnet; Community Mental Health Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Services
• Lot 2: Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust The Enfield Division covering the borough of Enfield; Community Mental Health Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Services
• Lot 3: Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust The Haringey Division covering the borough of Haringey; Community Mental Health Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Services.

Working alongside the Partnership’s local BEH borough-based Divisions, the provider(s) must deliver a needs-based collaboration across the borough. The provider(s) will be expected to work with the core and community engagement teams as part of mobilisation to agree on integrated care delivery.

The VCS services commissioned through this contract will be expected to be innovative and flexible in-service delivery. The provider(s) of these services will be expected to ensure there are good risk assessment processes in place to support delivery. They will embed the use of volunteers and peer support in their service offer to maximise delivery of excellent outcomes.

The services being commissioned under each lot will include 3 main components as part of our new multi-disciplinary blended community mental health model:
a) Intensive psycho-social support and key working service
b) Targeted support to address health inequalities
c) Development of new community assets and resources to promote mental wellbeing in our communities
