Tender: Greater Manchester Inclusion Health – Support Services for Adults with Homelessness, Substance Misuse and Mental Ill Health

About

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is seeking a supplier for inclusion health support services to directly support or signpost adults experiencing multiple disadvantage, with a specific focus on those with co-occurring homelessness, substance misuse and mental ill health. The service must provide equivalent or enhanced staffing structure and coverage compared with current Local Authority arrangements and existing programmes (including RSPARG Local Authorities, Greater Manchester Housing First, RSAP and individual local authority arrangements such as Manchester and Bolton), break down individual and workforce barriers across those arrangements, and integrate GMCA homelessness areas and programmes within the Enhanced Live Well offer. Providers are expected to strategically collaborate with other Inclusion Health providers, identify opportunities to jointly support the workforce in line with Enhanced Live Well and integrated neighbourhood approaches across Greater Manchester, and act as a Lead Provider to build partnerships within this contract (Lot 1 - GP Primary Care and Lot 2 - Palliative Care Service) and the wider Inclusion Health system. The volume of people supported will be reflected in professional caseloads and accepted referrals for direct treatment and interventions, with a wider cohort engaged through regular attendance at drop-ins, day centres and collaborative professional engagement.
