Tender: Re-opening CAMHS Dynamic Purchasing System for North Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent

About

North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust is seeking suppliers to join a re-opened Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) across North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. The DPS covers a full range of CAMHS delivery modalities including face-to-face, digital and blended approaches and is intended to enhance and work alongside the Trust’s existing services. Stage 1 provides an overview for qualification: services should operate across the 0–25 year spectrum with most activity expected in the 0–18 range, adopt a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) model, use a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach with an outcome focus, employ agreed outcome measurement tools, and deliver timely, high-quality, accessible support for children, young people and families/carers. There are no specified lots; organisations must indicate their areas of expertise and delivery modalities as part of the qualification process to inform future shortlisting. The DPS went live in February 2023, will remain open for five years and will allow new organisations to join during that period; NHS Standard Terms and Conditions will apply and the DPS may be reasonably modified to accommodate innovative practices.
