Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is seeking to enhance the provision of additional eating disorder beds for adults in the East Midlands through a market engagement event titled "Market Engagement Event for the Provision of Additional Eating Disorder Beds for Adults in the East Midlands." Currently in the planning stage, the initiative aims to address the increasing demand for inpatient services, where current capacity is insufficient to meet local needs. The engagement process will culminate on 3rd March 2021, with an event scheduled for 4th March 2021, giving interested providers the opportunity to discuss procurement details with the commissioning team and take part in individual meetings. Participants are advised to complete an online questionnaire by the 3rd March 2021 to express interest.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) that specialise in rehabilitation hospital services to engage with a growing need in the healthcare sector. Organisations capable of providing tailored inpatient care for patients with eating disorders, particularly those that can manage complex cases, will find this procurement process particularly relevant. By participating in this early engagement exercise, businesses can position themselves effectively for future opportunities in this expanding area of healthcare delivery.
