As part of the Peers in Emergency Department (ED) initiative, Health New Zealand| Te Whatu Ora is looking for interested service providers that will provide experienced peer support specialists that will work alongside clinicians to ensure a holistic and comprehensive approach that address the needs of people who present to ED with mental health and addiction needs. This initiative will initially progress as a trial running through until June 2026. It is expected that the service provider will also support the continual development of the service throughout this trial period.

Potential providers are encouraged to:
· Register your interest in participating in this opportunity with a contact name and email address
· Participate in the future sourcing process; and
· understand that the target deployment of the programme is March 2025 and providers will have the resources to deliver the required outcomes within the time frame.

Registered interest is not only welcomed from single providers but also proposals from a collaborative provider approach.

All registered providers will receive notification of the market listing when it goes live.
Note that no provider will be disqualified from participating in any future open procurement approach for these services if they do not register for this FPO.
