Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Calderdale CCG is planning to commission the provision of a Pre-School Children's Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessment service, with the aim to alleviate waiting times for assessments currently experienced by around 100 children in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The tender is at the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 8th February 2021. This initiative arises from the ongoing demands placed on health services amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, seeking qualified professionals to begin services by February or March 2021, adhering to both good practice and NICE guidelines.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in multi-agency ASD assessments and child developmental needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to express their interest in this commission. The successful provider will not only enhance service delivery but will also position themselves as key providers within community healthcare, thus facilitating business growth in the health sector.

Notice Title

NHS Calderdale CCG - The Provision of a Pre-School Children's ASD (Expressions of Interest)

Notice Description

NHS Calderdale CCG (CCCG) is seeking to commission additional interim capacity experienced in carrying out multi-agency Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments and child developmental needs for those on the pre-school children's waiting list held by Calderdale and Huddersfield Foundation Trust. This capacity must include qualified and experienced professionals who adhere to good practice and NICE guidelines. We are looking for capacity to commence February/March 2021. This is due to the implications of delivering services within a hospital setting due to the ongoing COVID situation and ongoing increase in the demand for assessments, resulting in the increase in waiting times for this cohort. There are circa 100 children on the pre-school children's waiting list (due to the timeframe, some children will be aged between 5&6). Consequently, CCCG would like to support children, parents/carers and families by commissioning additional ASD capacity commencing from February/March 2021. Requirements The service will; * Be in contact with families of children with the longest wait times to offer them an 'opt-in' option to have their child's assessment via another provider. * Be provided from Calderdale and wider community venues in line with COVID-19 regulations. * Ensure appropriate patient data is shared with the provider (in accordance with data protection) to enable a seamless transition from the Trust waiting list to the interim provider. This will be shared once the opt-in approval has been received by the child's parent/carer. The Provider(s) will ensure; * Appropriate Clinical oversight is provided for the service. * The venue meets required safety, quality, infection, prevention and control standards and is child friendly. * Staff providing the services are suitably qualified (in accordance to NICE Guidance) and competent and that appropriate arrangements are in place for maintaining and updating relevant skills and knowledge for supervision. * All premises and equipment used for the provision of service are at all times suitable for the delivery of those services and sufficient to meet the needs of children. Additional information: Please note that an expression of interest in delivering the interim Calderdale Pre-School Children's ASD assessment service is not a tender response. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the tender process nor does it infer any special status on those providers who do submit an interest. The market response to this notice will be used to inform the commissioner's view as to any future process to select the most suitable approach to meet its commissioning intentions. This does not commit the CCG to undertake the procurement of the interim Calderdale Pre-School Children's ASD Service. The CCG has the right to withdraw this notice. If you would like to submit a response for this service, please express your interest by registering on NHSSourcing (https://www.nhssourcing.co.uk/web/login.html) reference pqq_29578. Once registered, potential providers will be able to complete and upload their submission.
