Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Services for Barnet Enfield and Haringey NHS Trust:

The services being commissioned are an extension to the contract awarded July 2021 that was a pilot to support the mobilisation and implementation of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust's (BEHMHT) new community mental health model which went live in the boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey in Q2 2021/22. The services tendered will complement existing resources and support already in place across the boroughs.

The provider(s) of the BEHMHT Community Mental Health Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Services will be expected to act as key strategic partner to BEHMHT and services commissioned will be fully integrated into our new community mental health model.

The contracts for the BEHMHT Community Mental Health Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Services were awarded for two years with the option to extend the contracts by a further year subject to finances and satisfactory performance by successful provider(s).

Therefore the extension to the services provided will build on the strength based approach, developing resilience, building on natural community support and social networks, developing life skills, supporting people to access community provision and universal services and supporting people to maintain and maximise their health, wellbeing and independence already provided by the provider(s) during the initial contract period.
