RFQ - Development and Response to Community Mental Health for NHS Devon CCG

Description

The Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP via the Devon CCG) have commissioned a Provider to explore and test collaborative, co-designed approaches to responding to mental health and well-being. The Provider will bring experience of working on complex issues and with a systems approach to help local factors reveal the waste and the opportunity from current models of delivery. This collaboration will help Commissioners and others from across the CCG to develop a more coherent, person led, consistent model of support rooted in community connection. The appointed provider will bring together a range of partners and teams, including from Devon Partnership Trust, CCG, representatives of the STP, Local Authorities, Devon Mind and other voluntary sector organisations. The appointed Provider will help with our journey through this work. The Provider will act as our 1. Advisor and critical friend: bringing expertise, frameworks and methodologies and collaboration to help partners develop an effective process for co-design and testing 2. Learning partner: help create a structure for and facilitate reflection sessions among partners. Outcomes We are doing this work with an ambition to positively transform our 'system' response to mental health in community settings. We seek to unite stakeholders in a common vision and 'service' offer, to shift thinking and behaviours in practice, to gather evidence of learning and use it to optimise the health of the system and capacity to achieve shared outcomes. We are driven by three main transformation developments: • A focus on relationships and context - providing holistic, strengths-based support based on empathy and trust, including devolving decision making to those closest to the ground; • Valuing reflection and learning as a driver of performance improvement, • Working with the 'system' in mind - building trust to enable greater understanding, collaboration and coordination of efforts that results in more effective and responsive support.
