The IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) Service and All-age Community Wellbeing Service supports people with mental health problems in primary care settings. Brighton and Hove CCG has concluded it's re-commissioning of these services to put in place new contracts and services that will be operational from 1.6.2017.

In addition to the IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) service which we expect to be aligned with the nationally mandated model, the broader Community Wellbeing Service will retain the strengths of the ‘practitioner’ model, but will be all ages and include additional features such as work and learning support and an advice service. It will support people who neither meet the criteria for Adult IAPT services or local secondary mental health services.

The procurement was in 2 Lots:

— Lot 1 Adult IAPT;

— Lot 2 All-age Community Wellbeing Service.
