Greater Preston Clinical Commissioning Group and Chorley and South Ribble Clinical Commissioning Group — The Haven Community Crisis/Recovery Café
Greater Preston and Chorley and South Ribble CCGs have commissioned a new service for a community crisis café.
The café will be situated within the community it serves, and to ensure it becomes a community asset will not be situated within a statutory building.
The service will be developed and evaluated by people who use its services and the local community, to ensure it becomes a valuable asset that enables people to recover from their episode of mental ill health and encourages resilience in the local population.
1 750 000 GBP total of 5 years.
The service is expected to be open from 11.00-23.00 (Monday-Friday) and 12.00-23.00 (weekends and bank holidays). The service will be open every day of the year.
The contract is for 3 years initially (with the option to extend for a further 2 years). The estimated maximum value of the contract is 350 000 GBP a year. VAT will not be chargeable to the commissioner and the individual bidder will be responsible for any VAT incurred.
— to provide a safe, welcoming and comfortable service away from a clinical environment for people in crisis, and those seeking to prevent the onset of a crisis,
— to meet the needs of individuals experiencing acute emotional distress associated with a mental health problem (which may or may not have been given a formal diagnosis) with the aim of drawing on strengths, resilience and coping mechanisms to reduce the need to use crisis services in the future,
— to support individuals to reduce their immediate crisis and anxiety, and to formulate a safety plan, drawing on strengths, resilience and coping mechanisms to reduce the need to use crisis services in the future,
— to offer a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach to individual need, to ensure needs are responded to by appropriate services to further help the individual to build resilience. There will be a full range of services provided at The Haven by a full range of organisations through a multi-agency approach.
The service is will be open from 11.00-23.00 (Monday-Friday) and 12.00-23.00 (weekends and bank holidays). The service will be open every day of the year.
The contract is for 3 years initially (with the option to extend for a further 2 years). The maximum value of the contract will be 350 000 GBP a year. It is expected that within year 2 of the contract the social enterprise will be operational in a shadow form, and within year 3 fully operational.
There will be up to an additional 50 000 GBP per year allocated by the CCGs to fund the premises.
