Description of the procurement

Devon Partnership NHS Trust is seeking to subcontract the provision of Crisis Cafes within Devon including Torbay and Plymouth.
These will be open to people from Devon who perceive themselves to be in mental health crisis or are at risk of this.
The Crisis Cafés model will offer a welcoming, safe (psychologically and physically), friendly, compassionate and non-stigmatising environment that people can access particularly outside of traditional working hours i.e. 9am – 5pm.
The provision will support people when they are approaching or experiencing emotional distress or a mental health crisis as defined by the person presenting. The provision will be an integral part of the local community and aligned community based mental health offer.
Individuals will be supported to discuss the nature of the crisis they are experiencing and reduce the crisis or distress being experienced through a range of support including signposting, advice, access to appropriate resources and working with existing care/recovery/safety plans. This support must build on the individual’s strengths and enable choice and control and be based on shared decision making. The provision will also ensure that the support provided enables a sustained period of recovery/self management.
