COV - Coventry and Warwickshire Suicide Postvention Bereavement Support - AWARD

It has been identified that there is an immediate requirement/service model that allows for single organisations or collaboratives to bid to deliver immediate, specialised family liaison and longer term therapeutic support to families and affected others who have experienced the death by suspected suicide for Coventry & Warwickshire. Through needs assessment and gap analysis, we know that the support offer available is based on finite voluntary and charitable sector resources and therefore the intention is to allow the market to define how they deliver both liaison and therapeutic elements of the service to build capacity.

The aim of the procurement is to support bereaved families and individuals and enhance Coventry and Warwickshire Health Care Partnerships' real-time surveillance system (RTS), with postvention bereavement support identified in real-time. RTS and postvention support will provide Coventry and Warwickshire with a system that offers: o real-time death data collection and analysis (suspected suicide) o bereavement (postvention) referral and support o multi-disciplinary reviews, learning panels, and cluster responses
