Request for Quotation - Derby Safe Haven

Descriptions

NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (formerly Clinical Commissioning Group) sought to commission a Derby Safe Haven service to be delivered across the population of Derby and Derbyshire. The overall aim of the Derby Safe Haven is to establish a safe, non-clinical environment whereby people with urgent mental health needs - who would otherwise require or seek support from Accident and Emergency secondary or acute mental health services - can receive support and de-escalation. The service was to be situated in Derby in a fixed and accessible location that maximises access across not only within Derby City, but for people across the rest of the Derbyshire footprint also. The service contract is for 2 years with the option to extend for a further 12 months. It is recognised that the service and the system will need to learn and adapt to the dynamic needs of the population throughout the duration of the service, and collaborative working between provider and commissioners will be critical to success. Please note there was a financial threshold associated with this procurement. Any bids received exceeding £200,000 per annum over the term of the contract were to be excluded from evaluation and disqualified from the process. No bids over £200,000 per annum were to be accepted.
