## About this tender

### Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) in Camden

Camden Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) believe that people experiencing common mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression, have the right to access high quality psychological therapies to support their recovery.

Through a restricted tender process, Camden CCG is seeking a suitably qualified provider to take forward its vision for services which fall under NHS Englandâ&#128;&#153;s nationally mandated programme Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), under a lead provider contract model. The service will take a holistic approach to supporting people with anxiety and depression, including those with comorbidities. The successful provider will work innovatively and flexibly to provide NICE-approved interventions and create pathways into other services.

The aim of this procurement is to:

â&#128;¢ award a new lead provider contract that offers a choice of psychological interventions to people in Camden experiencing common mental health problems

â&#128;¢ implement a new payment structure to incentivise better outcomes and performance

â&#128;¢ develop a new specification to include a more streamlined offer that will improve access in line with The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health published by NHS England, and to extend the service into universal/community-based services

â&#128;¢ successfully mobilise the specified service to ensure that the new contract commences from April 2017, managing any TUPE requirements

â&#128;¢ implement a robust performance and outcomes framework, based on priorities for Camden and the NHS over the next five years.

TUPE of existing staff may apply to the services.

The contract value is expected to be between Â£2,300,000 and Â£2,670,000 per year, with the contract commencing in April 2017.

It is anticipated that the initial contract term will be for a period of three years, with the option to extend the contract for a further two years (at the CCGâ&#128;&#153;s discretion). The total potential contract duration is therefore a period of five years, subject to consistent high service performance and patient satisfaction.
