Notice Title
Pre-Market Engagement - Social Impact Framework Reopening 1
Notice Description
Original UK4 Tender Notice: UK-2584 The Social Impact Framework provides a route to market for public sector organisations to commission services that improve social outcomes and address health inequalities. It supports the commissioning of services that influence the wider determinants of health - the social and environmental factors that affect people's wellbeing, such as housing, employment, education, community support and access to services. The framework enables NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards, local authorities and other public sector partners to identify organisations delivering these services and procure them in a fair and transparent way. Rather than running a full procurement process each time a service is required, public bodies can use the framework to access organisations that have already been assessed and approved. The framework is now approaching its first reopening, which will provide an opportunity for additional organisations to apply to join the framework.
Planning Information
The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (EoECPH) has established the Social Impact Framework, which provides a clear and compliant route to market for public sector organisations, including NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards, local authorities and other public bodies, to commission services that address health inequalities and the wider determinants of health. The framework is now approaching its first reopening, which will provide an opportunity for additional organisations to apply to join the framework. This pre-market engagement period is intended to help organisations understand the framework and prepare for the upcoming reopening. As the framework has already been established, this engagement is not intended to change the scope or structure of the procurement. Instead, this engagement will help us to: • Provide early information about the framework reopening and application process • Support organisations that may wish to apply to the framework • Offer an opportunity for suppliers to raise clarification questions ahead of the tender • Ensure suppliers have access to consistent information before the reopening This engagement is open to organisations of all sizes that deliver services aligned with the framework lots, including VCSE organisations, SMEs and larger providers. This is not a formal tender or contract opportunity. Participation in this engagement is voluntary and will not provide any organisation with a competitive advantage in the procurement process. Preliminary Market Engagement Process Suppliers can submit clarification questions and engage with the pre-market engagement through the Atamis supplier portal: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome To access the engagement materials: • Suppliers should register on the portal if they are not already registered. • Search for the opportunity reference C430067 – Pre-Market Engagement – Social Impact Framework Reopening 1. • Register interest in the opportunity to access the engagement materials. Suppliers may submit clarification questions during this period. A consolidated set of responses will be published ahead of the framework reopening to ensure all suppliers have access to the same information. Suppliers can contact the Atamis helpdesk at support-health@atamis.co.uk or by calling 02922 809277 for technical assistance when accessing the portal. This pre-market engagement will remain open until 17:00 on 22 April 2026. Supplier Information Sessions We will be hosting two virtual supplier information sessions to provide an overview of the Social Impact Framework and explain the upcoming reopening process. Each session will cover the same agenda, including: • An introduction to the purpose of the framework • An overview of the framework structure and service lots • An explanation of how the tender process will work • Guidance on preparing an application Session 1: 11 March 2026 – 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/38825993990150?p=K5Xkgr9vKJHg2B9K1N Session 2: 16 April 2026 – 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/31017212658011?p=kCcwsCXlc5BsbjurPm To ensure transparency and equal access to information, recordings of the sessions will be published on the Hub’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EOECPH-NHS Organisations are welcome to attend either session.
