In awarding a framework agreement for the Provision of Supplementary Mental Health Placements to support NHS Capacity Requirement, NOE CPC are looking to support Participating Authorities to meet the need for a service that offers the prompt assessment, referral and placement of patients with a range of mental health needs.

The aim is for the service to deliver effective rehabilitation and recovery to people whose needs cannot be met by less intensive mainstream adult mental health services, with a focus is on the treatment and care of people with severe and complex mental health problems, and who would otherwise be high users of secondary and tertiary care services.
