The services are designed to support people to remain safely within their own homes during periods of increased need, crisis, recovery, assessment or transition, whilst avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions and long-term residential care placements.

Lot 2 - Wrap Around Support Service Lot 2 is a flexible short-term wrap around support service delivered through block support arrangements for individuals who require a higher level of support throughout the day. The successful Provider will deliver short-term intensive home-based support to individuals whose needs require regular monitoring, observation and intervention across extended periods of the day.

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT. Shropshire Council is currently reviewing its future approach to universal mental health prevention and early-help support. As one part of this review, the Council wishes to understand the range of digital mental health prevention and emotional wellbeing models currently available, their evidence base, accessibility, affordability and potential applicability to Shropshire. This engagement does not indicate that the Council has decided to recommission a digital service. Findings will inform a wider options appraisal alongside local needs evidence, review of current provision, stakeholder engagement and consideration of alternative approaches. The overarching aim is to ensure that residents with low-level mental health or emerging wellbeing needs can access timely, appropriate support that helps prevent escalation into more complex need and reduces avoidable demand on statutory services. Digital support is being considered as part of a wider suite of accessible offers that may include social prescribing, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) provision and community-based support. Any future model will need to take account of Shropshire’s rurality and the diverse needs, preferences and circumstances of local residents, alongside local system priorities, strategies and policies. Strategic context Mental health and wellbeing are central to quality of life, resilience and the ability to participate in education, work, family life and communities. Good mental wellbeing is also protective against physical illness, social inequalities and unhealthy lifestyles. Demand for mental health support has increased significantly, particularly among children and young people, many of whom experience long waits for care. Nationally, around one in five people are affected by a common mental health condition, and a substantial proportion of mental health problems are established by early adulthood (age 24). This reinforces the importance of prevention and early intervention. Providing timely support for people with low-level mental health needs can help people manage distress earlier, maintain independence and stay connected to education, work, family life and their communities. The emerging national direction for mental health in England also places greater emphasis on shifting from crisis-led care towards prevention, delivering support at place and within communities, and embracing the opportunities offered by digital innovation. The future offer in Shropshire should therefore support earlier, proportionate and accessible help, while complementing wider local mental health, wellbeing and community support pathways. Current service context Shropshire Council currently commissions a digital mental health and emotional wellbeing offer for residents aged 16+, providing anonymous online access to moderated peer support, self-management resources and learning tools. The current arrangement provides a limited number of licenses annually. The Council is not necessarily seeking a like-for-like replacement through this engagement and is interested in understanding alternative digital models, approaches and innovations that could achieve preventative and early-help outcomes. The Council is interested in understanding features that; Are accessible without diagnosis or clinical referral Supports people experiencing emerging mental ill health or reduced emotional wellbeing Encourages self-management and early-help Provides safe onward escalation where necessary Is accessible across a large rural geography Can reach groups that may not engage with traditional services Is capable of generating meaningful information about reach, utilisation and outcomes to support review of impact and best value discussions

Shropshire Council is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to understand the current market for digital solutions that support unpaid carers. This engagement will help inform the Council’s future commissioning approach before any decision is made about whether to tender, use an existing compliant route, develop an alternative model, or take no further procurement action. Shropshire Council has an established Unpaid Carer Support offer. Recently this has become an all-age offer supporting Young Carers and Parent Carers. The Unpaid Carers portal will be an online offer which will be available to Unpaid Carers 24/7 throughout the journey of their caring role. We are aware there are a large proportion of people who do not identify as an Unpaid Carer, we envisage the portal will support with that identification and will provide relevant up to date information to support families in a preventative manner. Any proposed solution should offer the following support: Increase the identification recognition and early interventions for unpaid Carers Delay and reduce the need to access high-cost statutory provision Improve accessibility to information, advice and guidance, improve links and signposting to services that are already available nationally, regionally and locally. Support Unpaid Carers to access self-help and self-management support to reduce the need for Unpaid Carers crisis interventions. Include access to Unpaid Carers 'self-assessment' focused on individualised outcomes The solution should have the capacity to collect and produce relative data regarding demographics, ethnicity, age range as well as information such as when and where the portal is accessed.
