Provision of psychological treatment to patients referred to IAPT services

Descriptions

West London NHS Trust seeks support from a supplier to provide evidence-based psychological treatments for patients with common mental health problems who are referred to Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services. West London NHS Trust has three IAPT services. They provide a range of psychological interventions for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. They work within the guidance set out in the IAPT manual. As part of the NHS Long-term plan the IAPT services are expanding rapidly. The services are therefore seeking a supplier who is able to provide additional high-quality treatment capacity. This additional capacity will ensure that waiting times for treatment remain stable during the service expansion. The Trust is seeking suppliers who have capacity to provide treatment to 30 patients per month for a period of 24 months.
