Abstract

North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust (NSCHT) is creating a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) and invites applications from suitably experienced organisations who wish to be considered for selection to qualify for the provision of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust (NSCHT) is committed to delivering high quality mental health care to the Children and Young People (CYP) of North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, in line with the NHS Five Year Forward View, Integrated Care System Partnership working, the NHS Long Term Plan and intelligence around the needs of the local population. It is recognised that some CYP are more vulnerable and susceptible to poor mental ill health. There are estimated to be around 10,400 CYP in Staffordshire and 3,700 in Stoke-on-Trent aged 5-16 with a mental health disorder.

The DPS shall provide for a full range of different Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services covering the areas of North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent. The DPS shall offer different delivery modalities including face to face, digital and a blended approach.

This DPS service specification (Stage 1) seeks to provide an overview of the future scope of the DPS for qualification purposes. NSCHT aims to use the DPS to procure CAMHS services that will enhance existing delivery and work intuitively with the Trust’s provision.

All future service specifications and provision under the DPS (Stage 2) will be expected to:

• Operate across the 0–25-year spectrum, in line with detailed specification requirements, most of the activity is expected to be within the 0–18-year spectrum.

• Take a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach to care and support for service users, as appropriate.

• Take a strengths-based and trauma informed approach to care/support that has an outcome focus.

• Use agreed and appropriate outcome measure tools.

• Provide timely, high quality and accessible services for children and young people and their families/carers.

Whilst there will not be specified lots, interested organisations will be required to indicate their area(s) of expertise and delivery modalities as part of the qualification process. This will form the basis of shortlisting bidders in future for specified requirements under the DPS (stage 2)

The DPS shall be live for a period of 5 years and the NHS Standard Terms and Conditions shall apply. The DPS shall remain open to reasonable modification for innovative practices being introduced by bidders and changes within the healthcare system throughout the life of the DPS.

During the initial selection process in establishing the DPS submissions that meet the submission deadline will initially be evaluated. The Trust may reject late bids at its discretion, any bid rejected due to lateness shall be considered following the initial DPS set-up. The DPS shall remain open for a period of 5 years for new organisations to complete the registration process and join. Once appointed all eligible/capable providers shall be invited into requests for quotations as and when requirements become available.

Applicants should register there interest to join the DPS via the MLCSU Bravo eTendering System https://mlcsu.bravosolution.co.uk.
