Description
NHS England (London Region) (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") invites Expressions of Interest (EoIs) and completed Invitation to Tender (ITT) submissions from all suitable providers for the delivery of an integrated London Liaison and Diversion Service (L&D) and London Mental Health Treatment Service (MHTR) for Men only.
L&D and MHTR services are commissioned by the Health & Justice team, as part of NHS England London's Specialised Commissioning division.
The Services
Liaison and Diversion Service
The provider will identify individuals with mental health, neurodiverse needs, substance misuse or other psychosocial vulnerabilities, when they come into contact with the youth and criminal justice systems. The service aims to:
• Improve overall health outcomes by providing better access to healthcare and support services for vulnerable people
• Reduce reoffending by addressing the underlying factors contributing to offending behaviour.
The provider will deliver the L&D service in all London custody suites, Magistrates' Courts, Crown Courts and will include a dedicated Community Team of community link workers and peer support workers. It will also deliver a service for individuals who are dealt with by Voluntary Attendance/Interview who have vulnerabilities. It will share appropriate information with Criminal Justice System partners (police, Judiciary, Crown Prosecution Service, Probation etc) as well as supporting individuals into appropriate health and other services.
Mental Health Treatment Requirements for Men only
The provider will deliver in London MHTR treatment service for men only where the Courts deem it would be appropriate to include a MHTR as part of a Community Sentence. The service would screen men who had been referred by either Probation, Defence or Liaison and Diversion who are potentially suitable for a MHTR. If the individual agrees, this will be shared with Probation who will include the recommendation into the Pre Sentence Report for the Judiciary for them to consider whether a MHTR could be part of any sentencing options. Where a man is given a MHTR as part of a community order the provider would deliver a number of sessions over a specified period, determined by the court and provide psychological treatment/interventions, to address the underlying mental health issues which may be contributing towards the underlying offending issues. The Service will work directly with probation around support which will increase compliance, as well as proactively support the man to comply with the MHTR, and therefore reduce breaches. This service would be available to any man appearing in any of the Magistrates' Courts or Crown Courts in London.
