What the notice says

This is a follow up to a previous Request for Information (RFI) that took place earlier this year. This RFI seeks feedback from both services and providers of Specialist Adult and Older People (AOP) mental health and Psychological Therapies for Severe Mental Health Problems (PTSMHP) education programmes. Responses will inform the development of detailed procurement specifications and help shape the future delivery model of these programmes. Prospective bidders will not be disadvantaged by choosing not to respond to this RFI but it will be helpful to understand views at this early stage, so we encourage providers to respond as fully as possible. To express interest and respond to the request for information, please register and apply via Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
