Description of the procurement

As part of the commitments of the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS England are progressing arrangements to commission, via seven lots, a Veterans’ Mental Health High Intensity Service Pathfinder that will provide both inpatient and community-based crisis response services.

The Pathfinder, to be delivered as seven Networks, will launch in April 2020 and run until end of March 2022.
