The supplier will deliver coordinated support to the ‘Spokes’ for both regional and local assistance, including peer support and access to evidence-based interventions for those with less complex needs. Developing local networks and partnerships between statutory services and third sector organisations, this model represents a ‘no wrong door’ approach, meaning veterans can enter the pathway through multiple routes and still receive consistent, high-quality care as close to home as possible. The ‘spokes’ will also promote wellbeing to enable veterans to ‘wait well’ for treatment. Where complex care is required, the provider will ensure a ‘warm’ handover to statutory services. Additional information: This contract will be demand-led, with service volumes determined by the number of referrals received throughout the contract term. A ceiling value has been established to represent the maximum potential expenditure over the full duration of the contract, including any optional extension periods.
