II.2.4) Description of the procurement
East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) is an 'outstanding' provider of mental and community health services in Newham, Tower Hamlets, City & Hackney, plus in Bedfordshire and Luton. It has an annual turnover of over £400m and operates out of 160 sites.ELFT delivers IAPT psychological therapies services in Newham and Tower Hamlets, and currently commissions Counselling provision to an external provider. In addition to Counselling services, the Tower Hamlets IAPT service also has a DWP-funded employment support service, which is explicitly linked to the IAPT service and is intended to be as closely integrated as possible. Due to Covid-19 these services are currently being delivered remotely by video and telephone but in future we expect to return to face-to-face delivery for those who prefer it. The Trust is currently exploring options on potential provision of these services. The counselling services will use the Trust’s clinical record system to maintain accurate records of appointments attended, outcome measures, etc. The Trust is looking for subcontractor partners to deliver two Lots; potential providers are invited to apply for any Lot or combination of Lots, recognising that there are synergies across the two Lots. The service is expected to go live by 1st January 2022 in Newham and 1st January 2022 in Tower Hamlets. There are supporting staff for the services and TUPE will be applied to the successful bidder.
