It is nationally recognised that service users with serious mental illness or learning disability are more likely to have co-morbid physical health issues and shorter life expectancy. Residing in inpatient services for long periods of time can also result in service users being more likely to develop long term physical health conditions. A number of service users within each of the units covered by the service level agreement will have been admitted from outside of the Cheshire footprint and therefore will not be registered with a local GP, or eligible for such registration. This service provision allows access to ongoing physical health monitoring/ screening. Better Health Manchester are able to offer a service which aligns with the needs of the three wards, and matches the service provided by the previous provider. They currently work with other NHS Mental Health Trusts and have extensive experience of working with these patient cohorts. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 11th August 2026 to [email protected]. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as a Prior Information Notice following the most suitable provider process under PSR.

The Mums Matter programme is a well evidenced, co produced intervention designed with mums for mums, directly addressing a significant service gap for women experiencing mild to moderate perinatal mental health difficulties. With national data showing that up to 20% of women experience perinatal mental health problems and fewer than half receive adequate support, the need for accessible, community-based provision is clear. Mums Matter offers a structured six week programme incorporating CBT informed approaches, mindfulness, peer support, and self guided learning, supported by practical enablers such as onsite childcare and family supporter sessions. This comprehensive model ensures accessibility, engagement, and sustained recovery beyond the intervention period. The programme delivers strong, measurable outcomes, with approximately 79% of participants no longer meeting clinical thresholds for depression and 72% for anxiety, alongside improved wellbeing, and social connection. These results demonstrate clear impact, support early intervention priorities, and reduce demand on higher intensity services. Participant feedback consistently highlights increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and the value of shared experience, evidencing high satisfaction and meaningful change. The model aligns closely with NHS priorities around early intervention, prevention, and community based care, offering a proven, accessible, and cost effective solution. Taken together, these factors make Mums Matter the most suitable provider for delivering this service. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 24/07/2026 to [email protected]. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an Prior Information Notice following the most suitable provider process under PSR.
