NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Perinatal Mental Health Non-Statutory Community redesigned Services

Published

Description

1) This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board's (BNSSG ICB's) (the Commissioner's), intention to commission their redesigned non-statutory community perinatal mental health services. The Commissioner would like to understand the level of provider interest in delivering these services. 2) Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) (the Commissioner) is seeking to secure a Prime Provider who has the capability and capacity to deliver non-statutory community perinatal mental health services, in line with the specified requirements. The Commissioner confirms that whilst they are seeking a Prime Provider, they welcome partnerships, consortiums and/or sub-contractual models, which is at Bidders' discretion. 3) The geography covered is that of NHS BNSSG ICB, namely the counties of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. A single lot is proposed for the total procurement area. 4) The contract duration will be confirmed ahead of the formal invitation to tender (ITT) being issued. It is likely to be from 1st October 2025 for 5 years with potential extension options not yet defined. The extension options will be confirmed ahead of the formal invitation to tender (ITT) being issued. 5) The proposed model will be underpinned by: • A holistic approach. This will require a set of broad-based interventions that recognise and engage with the social determinants of poor perinatal mental health (socio-economic, relational, cultural and inequality-based factors that can negatively impact women's mental health during pregnancy and in the early years of their child's life). This will include issues relating to housing, welfare rights, relationships with partners, neighbourhood/community support etc. • The principles of equality and inclusion: recognising women's experience of discrimination and exclusion and shaping service provision to meet the needs of different groups. • The principle of supporting women close to home and in their local area. • Community outreach. Specific targeted outreach and support to groups and/or communities that are typically underserved by mental health services, early parenting support etc in order to promote better access. This will include targeted outreach to areas with high levels of socio-economic deprivation, different ethnic minority communities, LGBTQ+, disabled and other women who face evidenced health inequalities and other forms of discrimination. 6) In the contract lifetime a range of potential changes are foreseeable, including but not limited to: • An increase in need (increased prevalence of women requiring interventions for moderate perinatal mental health need) • Changes in evidence for the most effective interventions to support women with moderate perinatal mental health need • A change in local population and demographics 7) TUPE elements are likely to apply. However given the nature of these services being redesigned, the TUPE information will be confirmed ahead of the formal invitation to tender (ITT) being issued. 8) Total combined maximum contract value will be confirmed ahead of the formal invitation to tender (ITT) being issued. It is likely to be in the region of £217,000 per annum. This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
