It is expected that the mobilisation of the service will be over a period of 2 years.

It is envisaged that there will be a 3 Phased Approach to Service Delivery as follows:

— Phase 1 will include all IAPT Services and Healthy Living Services, Social Prescriptions and Smoking Cessation services,

— Phase 2 will be the development of the Primary Care Mental Health Assessment and Liaison Service (subject to agreement by the Contracting Authority),

— moving forward Phase 3 will relate to further agreed Children's Wellbeing services and Bidders should be aware that after the award of contract, dependent upon agreement with the Contracting Authority, there is a possibility that the successful Bidder may be offered a variation to the contract to include such services covering the Luton area, in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Furthermore, the service specification will be reviewed by the CCGs as the Sustainability and Transformation (STP) develops across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK). Bidders should be aware that after the award of contract, dependent upon agreement within the BLMK STP footprint, there is a possibility that the successful Bidder may be offered a variation to the contract, in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, for provision of Adult/Children's Wellbeing Services covering the BLMK STP footprint.

There is a requirement from commissioners that the prospective Lead provider will review how all “Well-Being” services can be redesigned to contribute to the delivery of constitutional targets within the financial resources available. A 5 Year contract for Phase 1 equates to GBP 16 500 000, (GBP 23 100 000 for 7 year contract if option to extend for further 24 months is utilised).

The Total Value of the Contract including Phase 2 equates to GBP 28 200 000 for a 7 year Contract.
