This notice is intended to communicate that NHS Mid and South Essex ICB (herein referred to as the 'Authority') intends to award a contract to an existing provider, under the Provider Selection Regime DAP C process, to provide for continuity of service and safety of service users. The Specialist Bereavement service offer is bespoke and the provision supports service users who are impacted by suicide. The service aim is to reduce the profound effect a death by suicide can have on families, professionals and communities. There is clear evidence that one suicide can trigger a cluster of other suicides where up to 135 individuals can be impacted by a single death by suicide. This service provides improved and valuable support for those bereaved or affected by suicide and reduces the risk of further suicides. The service integrates well with other services across the wellbeing pathway within MSE, to support services users. The existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The contract is for a 12 month term from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.
