The approximate lifetime value of the contract is £1,782,820.00 (for 3 years total, with an option to extend for 2 years). Contract Start Date: 1st April 2025 Contract End Date: 31st March 2030 The service is to provide a lived experience support offer to individuals where an expert by experience input would be of benefit for recovery and to address social stressors to mental illness. The purpose of this procurement exercise is to appoint a provider to support the provision of a Future Focus Peer Coach (FFPC) Service within Mental Health Services (North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent) for North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare Trust (NSCHT). The objective of the FFPC Service provision is to enable Service Users to stay well in their recovery journey. The ways in which people are supported can be flexible, should be person centred and help people to make the best use of their community resources. The Service will form a part of an integrated pathway across the voluntary sector, primary and secondary care mental health and social care. It should be based on recovery and social inclusion principles and designed to be accessible and to prevent people falling through gaps between services. 1 bidder has been selected as the highest overall scoring bidder for this lot and has been recommended as a successful bidder. This service is an existing service. Changes Health & Wellbeing are the existing provider. The contract award criteria was specified in the procurement documents. The procurement documents included the contract award criteria, including the agreed relative importance of key criteria (e.g., weighting, prioritisation) against which, bids were evaluated. This process was a mixed procurement as Lot 1 and Lot 2 were considered to be health, but Lot 3 was not. The healthcare element was more than 50% of the total value of the 3 contracts and therefore a mixed procurement approach was taken, in accordance with PSR regulation 11 for the procurement of these 3 contracts.

Description
This notice is an intention to award a contract under the competitive process for Lot 1 Health and Lifestyle Service to Everyone Health. The approximate lifetime value of the contract is £578,361.59 (for 3 years total, with an option to extend for 2 years). Contract Start Date: 1st April 2025 Contract End Date: 31st March 2030 The service is to promote health, weight management, nutrition and wellbeing. The purpose of this procurement exercise was to appoint a provider to support the provision of Health and Lifestyle Support for Mental Health Services (North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent) for North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare Trust NSCHT. Weight management and promotion of positive lifestyles is complex, and this is especially true for people with severe mental illness. They are more likely to have common risk factors for being overweight, such as reduced access to healthy food, lower incomes and health conditions that limit their mobility. In addition, they have risk factors not typically faced by the general population, such as weight gain related to psychiatric medication and admission to inpatient wards with fewer opportunities to be physically active. This service will not include smoking cessation support as it is anticipated that this will be a separately commissioned service in line with national aspirations for smoking support outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan. 1 bidder has been selected as the highest overall scoring bidder and has been recommended as a successful bidder. This service is an existing service. Everyone Health is the existing provider. The contract award criteria was specified in the procurement documents. The procurement documents included the contract award criteria, including the agreed relative importance of key criteria (e.g., weighting, prioritisation) against which, bids were evaluated. This process was a mixed procurement as Lot 1 and Lot 2 were considered to be health, but Lot 3 was not. The healthcare element was more than 50% of the total value of the 3 contracts and therefore a mixed procurement approach was taken, in accordance with PSR regulation 11 for the procurement of these 3 contracts.
