Adult Mental Health In-patient and Community (over 16 years of age Inc. dementia) Service User and Carer Engagement Services

NHSGG&C seek to enable those who have used mental health services to support and engage with other service users, whose experience of mental health services influences the quality and content of care and treatment provided within NHSGG&C.

To ensure the ability of service users to be able to influence services and to be adequately supported to do so, we are looking to work in partnership with the successful supplier, to support the development of peer engagement while ensuring that public funds are duly considered and performance managed.

The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 30901. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343

Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/

A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows:

Potential participants are required to summarise any proposed community benefits that will be developed and delivered as part of this contract if successful or, alternatively, potential framework participants confirm that they will engage with the NHS Scotland’s Community Benefits Gateway (CBG).

This gateway, developed through requests from suppliers seeking opportunities to support the delivery of community benefits within the contracting region, provides information on community benefit opportunities. The CBG is a free and easy to use online service that connects NHS Scotland suppliers with third sector community organisations within Scotland and will be used for tracking and reporting and is an approved compliant route to the realisation of community benefits.
