This opportunity targets the health and social work services sector, specifically catering to individuals with learning disabilities within Northamptonshire. Interested organisations can submit their expressions of interest by 5:00 PM on 5th December 2018, which marks a key deadline in this initiative. The service aims to provide essential support for individuals unable to manage their financial matters or sign tenancy agreements due to their circumstances, and it will be delivered across the East Midlands and East of England regions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care, particularly those with experience in supporting individuals with learning disabilities and an understanding of legal requirements related to deputyship and appointeeship. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to compete, given the need for qualified staff familiar with the specific processes and criteria involved in providing such crucial support. Engaging in this process could allow these businesses to expand their service offerings and positively impact the local community. ## Notice Appointeeship and Deputyship Service - Expression of Interest Nene & Corby Clinical Commissioning Groups are looking for expressions of interest from suitably qualified organisations for this potential opportunity to provide a high quality Appointee / Deputyship service to a small number of individuals with a learning disability in Northamptonshire. Adults with a learning disability, including individuals with behaviour that can challenge others, have the right to be supported to live in their own home, in their local community, in the least restrictive environment possible and with high quality person centered support as required. The Appointeeship/Deputyship Service is an integral part of offering ordinary living opportunities to individuals with a learning disability funded by the CCGs. The Service will be utilised in those circumstances where an individual does not have the capacity to sign a tenancy agreement and/or manage their financial affairs and where there is no current suitable deputy/appointee in place. Organisations will need to have experience of delivering a similar service and have access to experienced staff who understand the legal and mandatory systems surrounding deputyship and appointeeship requirements including timescales for referral to the service, criteria, and costs involved, and describe to staff the processes and procedures for making a referral to the service and what this will entail. Organisations should submit their Expression of Interest by 5.00pm on Wednesday 5th December 2018 to nelcsu.procurementnorthants@nhs.net ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55f59732-a191-41e8-980e-011d7ca6f662 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Dec 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | N E L COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2A 2DU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Hackney | | Electoral ward | Hoxton East & Shoreditch | | Westminster constituency | Hackney South and Shoreditch | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 26 Nov 2018 at 15:54 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55f59732-a191-41e8-980e-011d7ca6f662 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55f59732-a191-41e8-980e-011d7ca6f662 26th November 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
