North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS North East and North Cumbria ICB (the Contracting Authority), who are conducting a Request for information (RFI) exercise in order to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to deliver the following service: Employment Advisors Service - North Tyneside. The Employment Advisors (EA) Service, as part of NHS Talking Therapies, has been set up to increase the availability of employment support within NHS Talking Therapies providers. It also aims to ensure that with all NHS Talking Therapies providers there is sufficient employment support capacity to provide combined therapy and employment support for people who are employed, those off sick from work and those who are out of work. It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published on Find and Tender Service and on Contracts Finder. It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest. NECS is utilising an electronic tendering tool to manage this RFI exercise and communicate with potential providers. Accordingly, there will be no hard copy documents issued to potential providers and all communications with NECS, including Expression of Interest submissions, will be conducted via Atamis: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome If you have already registered on the system (e.g. to access contracts with another Health Family organisation) then there is no need to re-register. If you have not already done so you should now register as a Supplier on the shared system. You can register here: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome It is free to register on the portal and it can be accessed at any time of day providing you have a working internet connection.

This is based on a number of criteria including the domain name of your email address, so please ensure that you do register with your official work email address. Request for information will be available on the e-tendering site from Monday 16 October 2023. Potential providers are to note that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services. Completed RFI questionnaires must be submitted by 12 noon on Monday 30 October 2023. Following review of returned RFI responses, should the commissioner wish to seek further clarification to any part of the responses, further market engagement may be carried out. Providers will be made aware of these arrangements via the Atamis system.
