    "description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 24th July 2025 to cwp.contracts@nhs.net. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.\nECHC has been Contracted to provide this service since 31st March 2024 when funding was made available form the ICB for Crisis Bed provision within the East Cheshire Footprint. \nThere are plans to go out to tender of this service within this financial year. As this procurement exercise will take time there is a need to extend this contract the current contract so there is no break and we can maintain continuity of care for Patients.\nQuality \u0026 Innovation: The service is required to comply with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP) policies and procedures, and to collaborate effectively with relevant clinical and operational leads to uphold service standards. The service is designed to enhance the patient experience, particularly within challenging care environments and offer an alternative to admission for people in a mental health crisis in line with least restrictive guidance. \nValue: The service reduces the pressures on a number of core system services; including but not exclusive to the following: Inpatient Units, AEDs and provides an alternative to admission through a stepped up care model close to home for people in crisis.  The service is designed to improve efficiency by supporting \u0027the right care in the right place at the right time\u0027 agenda, whilst providing patient safety. \nIntegration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability: As noted above the service will go out to competitive tender this financial year, thus extending the contract will ensure continuity of care to some of our most vulnerable people accessing this service. A break in service would be a risk to patient safety, safe staffing levels and statutory obligations.\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice: \nThe service supports managing demand and access to acute mental health inpatient units and first response services. The service provides analternative to admission, facilitating the restrictive option for meeting clinical needs, close to their home, family and carers.  \nSocial value: The provider is local (within the CWP footprint), employing people from the local area. Training and career development opportunities fare available for staff. The provider also has a number of charity partners and provides a range of services outside of this current contract, including help at home, supported housing, respite - thus offering numerous health \u0026 wellbeing benefits to the community.\n 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 - \u00a3154,216",
