To approve the re-procurement of the Community
Mental Health Service contract for a period commencing on
1/10/2025.
Approval has been given for the re-procurement
of the Community Mental Health Prevention Service, commencing on
1st October 2025.
The Community Mental Health Prevention
services continue to provide good quality and good value services,
delivering preventative Mental Health Services across North
Yorkshire in 6 locality areas. The current contract term ceases
30/9/2025 and there are no further options to extend within the
current contract. Therefore, a new procurement is required.
This procurement is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider
Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and the Authority is to follow
Direct Award Process C.
The proposed contract duration is 2 years with a provision for two
extensions of 1+1 years. This would allow for some security along
with sufficient flexibility to respond to future opportunities to
better align with health services. A formal service development
improvement plan will sit alongside the contract, and we will work
with providers on transformation and embedding this in their
service.
The alternative to re-procuring this service
would be to reduce the service level available and cause
instability in the market. This would reduce the ability of the
service to support individuals and promote good outcomes.
