About

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit awarded a contract to Buckinghamshire Association for Mental Health (trading as Buckinghamshire Mind) for the commissioning of Community Connector roles within the Mental Health Integrated Community Service (MHICS) Teams across East Berkshire.

The contract, valued at £825,754, was procured through an Open procedure under the Invitation to Tender (ITT) process during summer/autumn 2022 to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender.

The Community Connectors will form part of the core MHICS team, with a minimum of one whole-time equivalent per team, and will help identify psychoeducational, emotional, and socio-economic needs impacting mental wellbeing through direct one-to-one work with clients, supporting engagement and access to local and community resources.

They will also actively link, develop, and bridge out to the infrastructure of voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) support.

This initiative is part of the ICS-wide Community Mental Health transformation programme, which includes nine MHICS Teams covering ten Primary Care Networks in East Berkshire.
