Gloucestershire County Council has notified us that the two below tender opportunities will become live in Autumn 2023:

• Mental Health Support and Advice Service (new name TBC), currently operating as Community Advice, Links & Mental Health Support Service (CALMHS)
• Community Autism Support & Advice (CASA) Service

Please note: these are two separate tenders and Providers can apply for just one opportunity or both, although each will require separate bids as stand-alone services.

Gloucestershire County Council’s Commissioning Team will also be hosting a virtual Engagement Event in September to outline the aims of these services and provide details about the expectations of the new service provision (including the service model and expected outcomes). There will be new expectations as part of both service provisions. Representatives from the County Council's Strategic Procurement and ICT teams will outline the expectations as part of the tender process. The Engagement Event will be an opportunity for Providers to ask questions about the opportunities and the tender process ahead of the Autumn. 

The Engagement Event will be held online, via MS Teams on, 6 September 2023, from 2pm (for a 2:15pm start) until 4pm.
