NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin award new CAMHS service model to MPFT
NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin is pleased to announce that Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) has been awarded the contract to deliver a new model of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) across the county, following the conclusion of the formal procurement process.
This follows a rigorous, transparent and legally compliant commissioning process under the national Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The process was designed to secure a service that better meets the needs of children, young people and families with a redesigned specification, shaped by extensive public engagement, and a renewed focus on early help, accessibility and joined-up care.
While MPFT is the current provider of CAMHS locally, this contract award represents a fundamentally new service model, developed in response to what children, young people, families and professionals told us they need. The service will be delivered using existing funding, but with a redesigned approach to ensure the best possible outcomes and value for money.
