II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The NHS Long Term Plan is committed to improving the access to mental health services and the Mental Health Crisis Sanctuaries Services. The MSE Mental Health Crisis Sanctuaries are part of the ICS and Care Service and a component of the wider ICS Urgent and Emergency Care Mental Health Programme and will specifically need to evidence meeting 2 of the Crisis Concordat objectives namely Urgent and Emergency Care and Quality of Treatment and Care when in Crisis
The crisis sanctuary aims to provide a non-clinical safe space to support people in crisis across the three geographical areas between 10am-1am 7 days a week where people can access a 1:1 support or outreach and to increase alternative forms of provision for those deemed in crisis providing a more suitable alternative to A&E for many people experiencing Mental Health crisis. Usually for people whose needs are escalating to a crisis point or who are experiencing a crisis but do not necessarily have medical needs that requires A&E admission.
The Sanctuaries are required to have strong links with other community providers and other services both commissioned by the MSE ICS and Local Authorities and those provided independently. They will be required to form links with drug and alcohol services, learning disability services, housing providers and community-based resources, and to arrange and support onward referrals as required.
