About

Attain awarded a contract to Mid and North East Essex Mind for the provision of a Crisis Cafe service in Colchester and Clacton from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2024, with a contract value of £1,134,000 over the three-year term.

The service builds on the existing Clacton Crisis Cafe provision that commenced in 2019, delivered in partnership with Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) and The Haven, and integrates a similar Colchester service previously commissioned by Essex County Council.

The model focuses on continuity and integration with crisis pathways across wider Alliance stakeholders, with EPUT providing clinical support and The Haven expanding resilience groups.

Stakeholder engagement through the system Crisis Cafe Steering Group embedded the pathway, contact points, and criteria for use, supported by shared patient reporting systems and a trusted assessor approach with referring agencies such as the Police.

The services fall within 'social and other specific services' under the Public Contracts Regulations 2014.
