Mental Health Day Opportunities Service - Market Engagement Event | Remote

Description

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), working in partnership with Westminster City Council (WCC), is undertaking a market engagement exercise to gather information regarding premises that may be suitable for the delivery of the proposed Adult Social Care Mental Health Day Opportunities model. The proposed service model is expected to commence during Spring/Summer 2027 and is currently being developed following earlier market engagement activity. The model is anticipated to comprise three locality-based hubs across the borough: (i)North Hub (ii)South Hub (iii)Cultural Hub (located in the north of the borough) These hubs will provide accommodation to support staff delivery, key working, care coordination, group activities and service user engagement. The service model will also utilise community assets across the borough, including community venues, libraries, green spaces and other suitable facilities to support flexible delivery within local neighbourhoods. Through this engagement, the Council wishes to better understand: (i)The availability of suitable premises within the borough. (ii)Capacity, accessibility and physical characteristics of available spaces. (iii)Potential leasing, licensing or partnership arrangements. (iv)Opportunities to support community-based mental health day opportunities from existing assets. (v)Indicative costs, constraints and considerations relating to premises provision. Interested organisations, landlords, community organisations, faith groups, charities, social enterprises, property managers and other relevant stakeholders are invited to complete a short questionnaire. Information gathered will be used to inform future service design, commissioning and procurement planning. Participation in this engagement exercise will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process, nor does it constitute a call for competition. The Council reserves the right to amend its requirements and procurement strategy following completion of this engagement activity.
