Tender: Re-opening of Mental Health Independence and Support Framework – Sheffield (Support for People with Severe Mental Illness)

About

Suppliers are sought to provide support to people living in Sheffield who have a severe mental health problem that significantly affects their health and wellbeing. The framework aims to address needs early to enable a return to independence where possible or to provide ongoing support at a level that maintains as much autonomy as the individual can manage. Services are available to Sheffield residents with a diagnosis of severe mental illness who have eligible needs under the Care Act 2014; once assessed as eligible they will be allocated a package of support that must meet the needs set out in a Care Act (2014) Assessment or Section 117 assessment, with the assessor determining the required level of support. Support is procured in two lots: LOT 1 – Standard Support (Outreach and Supported Accommodation) and LOT 2 – Enhanced Support (Outreach and Supported Accommodation).
