This initiative aims to improve service delivery through integrated and innovative approaches. A market engagement notice has been published, detailing an engagement end date of 23rd February 2018, with the current value of the combined services estimated at approximately £3.7 million. Interested parties are encouraged to express interest by 5 PM on 11th January 2016 for one-to-one discussions scheduled to unfold at a Buckinghamshire location in mid-January. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those that provide therapeutic services for children and young people. Enterprises well-versed in innovative service delivery models, including the use of assistive technology, are especially suited to engage in this process. The engagement will allow potential providers to collaborate on shaping the final service specifications and to explore various contractual models that could lead to sustainable growth within the healthcare sector. ## Notice This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice, and relates only to a pre-procurement market engagement event.
