AWP operates across two financially challenged Integrated Care Systems and works with the South West Provider Collaborative for mental health services. The Board has invested in strengthening external stakeholder relationships and reviewing partnership working models. It has also experienced material membership changes since the previous well-led inspection, including a new Chair in autumn 2024 and three new Non-Executive Directors commencing in 2026. AWP now requires an independent, developmental review of leadership and governance against the Care Quality Commission well-led framework. The review will provide objective and constructive challenge, identify prioritised developmental actions and inform targeted improvement work to secure and sustain future performance.

This opportunity is being run under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations. The development of a specialist all age mental health response via 111 is a key ambition of the NHS England Long Term Plan (2021-2024), and the recovery plan for urgent and emergency care priority for 2023/24.

AWP is seeking a provider to deliver an integrated model for the NHS 111 Mental Health Crisis Response Service (111 Option 2) for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis across both adult (18 years and over) and children and young people (under 18 years) pathways. The appointed provider will be solely responsible for the delivery of the call handling element of the 111 Option 2 pathway, including access, triage and call management. AWP will retain responsibility for all clinical assessment activity and associated clinical decision-making and outcomes. The provider must be able to operate within a matrix management model, whereby all partners maintain responsibility for their own governance arrangements, professional standards and areas of specialist expertise, while working collaboratively at both strategic and operational leadership levels to deliver a seamless, integrated and high-quality service.
