Tender: Development of National Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) Data Set

About

Partners in Care and Health (PCH), led by the Local Government Association and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and working with the Social Care Institute for Excellence, is seeking a supplier to develop a national Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) data set. The project will support the national AMHP Partnership Group and its data subgroup as the steering group, build on previous work, and draw on input from AMHP leads to address a significant gap in national data about AMHP referrals and assessments—particularly referrals that do not result in hospital admission or guardianship—and provide related demand-management information. The work relates to local authority duties under the Mental Health Act 1983, is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, and will be offered to councils without charge.
