Notice Description

NHS Merton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to engage with the CCG to inform the CCG's commissioning of future service, including whether or not a competitive process will be appropriate. There is a clear need for the provision of early intervention and support services for emotional disorders and self-harm in Merton. To deliver the Government targets set out in Future in Mind and The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, the CCG has an intention for an early help service for emotional disorders and self-harm at a 'Getting Help' level to be commissioned in Merton. The CCG intends that a local service should be established to build on the pilot work undertaken in 2016/17 and 2017/18 as part of CAMHS transformation in Merton, with the aim to commission an evidence-based, community-based service for young people aged 11-18 years, that provides counselling and therapy for emotional disorders and self-harm. If you have a potential interest to provide this future service, please complete the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ), having regard to the draft Service Specification and MOI (also attached). Additional information: Participation in the engagement exercise is not a mandatory requirement for participating in any potential future procurement however responses received will assist to inform the Commissioner regarding the final specification of its requirements and approach to contracting issues and also whether it will be appropriate/necessary to run a competitive process for this Service. CONFIRMATION OF YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT. Please return the Market Engagement Questionnaire by 5pm, Friday 13th July 2018 to ekkehard_kugler@nhs.net, with the email Subject Heading "Market Engagement Response - Self Harm Prevention".
