HEE wishes to procure a framework of high quality training providers capable of delivering training programme to individuals within 1, some or all 4 HEE regions. Bidders will be expected to be able to offer the training programme starting in 2016/17.
HEE have up to 20 000 000 GBP to fund procurement of this training to support NHS England in meeting this target. The procurement will be accompanied by an offer to individual service providers and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) of 100 % salary support to new PWP posts, which will benefit from this training within CYP MH services. As this offer is subject to demand and agreement by the appropriate CCG to match fund the post for a further year, it is not possible currently to estimate what proportion of this funding will be allocated to new PWP roles within the system. The end date for this initial Framework contract is on the 31.3.2017, the contracts will be extended on a yearly basis, subject to funding, until 2020.

II.2.4)Description of the procurement:
HEE are commissioning training for a new post that draws on the experience of the highly successful adult IAPT PWP programme, to create a new cohort of psychological practitioners capable of delivering high-quality, evidence-based interventions for mild to moderate difficulties in a way that can be efficiently brought to scale. We propose to make more effective use of the large cohorts of very able graduates in psychology and a range of other disciplines to deliver and support, under supervision, brief, outcome-focused evidence-based interventions for children and young people experiencing mental health difficulties.
The programme will benefit from being integrated fully within CAMHS and linked to the CYP IAPT collaborative, which brings a valuable organisational infrastructure for sustainable models of teaching, supervision and clinical governance. On the advice of the National Clinical Adviser for CYP IAPT successful bidders will already be HEIs representing CYP IAPT collaboratives. Bidders will be expected to estimate the numbers of training places that they can accommodate for each of the courses starting in 2016/17, and demonstrate previous extensive experience of delivering training programmes at a comparable level according to CYP IAPT principles.
HEE is looking for training providers capable of delivering these curricula to a high standard at pace, with the 1st intake of trainees in 2016/17. Individual trainees will be identified by providers of CYP MH services whether commissioned by NHS or other commissioning bodies such as local authorities. Service providers nominating individual trainees will already be part of CYP IAPT partnerships, or will confirm their intention to join such a partnership in 2016/17. HEE reserves the right to impose conditions on the trainee selection processes of either service providers or HEIs to ensure that trainees’ gender and ethnicity is representative of the communities that they are intended to serve.
