The market engagement event will take place on 5th November 2020, and interested providers must register by 4th November 2020. This initiative is part of the CCG's efforts to address significant health inequalities in Sheffield, and the anticipated financial value of the contract is approximately £190,000 per annum over a two-year period. The procurement is currently in the planning stage and will utilise a collaborative approach with a single lead provider required for the service delivery. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with capabilities in managing comprehensive care for people with mental health issues or learning disabilities. Healthcare providers, IT firms that can offer clinical systems, and organisations experienced in data sharing channels within the health sector would be well-suited to compete. This engagement also encourages collaboration among multiple service providers, fostering partnerships that may enhance service delivery and innovation in addressing the needs of vulnerable populations in Sheffield. ## Notice NHS Sheffield CCG is seeking collaborative bids for the provision of a physical health improvement service for people living in Sheffield with severe mental illness, learning disabilities and autistic spectrum condition. Due to procurement requirements a single lead provider is required, however a collaborative approach is strongly encouraged. The lead provider could come from a range of organisations, however it would be expected that there were clearly defined routes for using or building on existing information and data sharing channels and systems within health services as part of the service's work. The lead provider would need to be able to ensure effective clinical systems/supervision and IT links between the service and health services. People living with severe mental illness (SMI), learning disabilities (LD) and autistic spectrum condition (ASC), face some of the greatest health inequality gaps in England. The average life expectancy for someone with a long-term mental health illness is at least 15-20 years shorter than for someone without and it is estimated that for people with SMI, 2 in 3 deaths are from physical illnesses that can be prevented . On average men with LD die 23 years earlier than men without a LD and for women it's 27 years earlier . Autistic people die on average 16 years earlier than the general population . Poorer physical health is for the majority of people due to preventable illnesses. Tender process The tender process will take place in November 2020 and the contract will be awarded early in the new year (2021). We have provided a draft specification for your comments. In preparation we will be holding an open market engagement event (via Zoom) to share more details about our plans, hear your views, allow initial discussion between providers who may wish to collaborate on a bid, and answer queries. Details of the agenda will be confirmed nearer the time. The event will take place on Thursday 5th November 2pm-3.30pm. The financial value of this contract will be in the region of PS190,000 per year (pro-rated as applicable) with funding for two years (24 months).
