## Summary

NHS Shared Business Services is initiating a procurement process for the "Children and Young People Mental Health Services in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough", targeted at the healthcare industry. Currently at the planning stage, this tender invites expressions of interest to inform the development of commissioning intentions for mental health services aimed at children and young people. The key engagement deadline is set for 12 noon on 12th October 2020, with an online market engagement workshop scheduled for 13th October 2020. The total estimated contract value is approximately £950,000 per year, with a potential contract duration of 3 to 5 years, starting from July 2021.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those with experience in providing short-term interventions for younger populations. Ideal candidates include healthcare providers, voluntary and community organisations (VCOs), and those with capabilities in collaborative service delivery models. Participation in the preliminary engagement is encouraged to gauge interest and inform future procurement steps, showcasing a commitment to quality care for vulnerable children and young people.

## Notice

Expressions of interest are invited from appropriately experienced and capable providers to commence an engagement with NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to assist the CCG to develop its commissioning intentions for the future provision of mental health services for children and young people. Current commissioning assumptions are that the service is likely to involve a contract for 3 to 5 years with a value circa PS950,000 per year (up to PS4,750,000 over potential 5 years), commencing from July 2021. Engagement with interested providers will assist to inform the CCG as to the level of interest, what types of providers might be appropriate to become involved in delivering a future solution and what collaborative solutions might be possible to provide the very best care and support to this often vulnerable cohort of children and young people. The engagement will seek to explore and understand potential service delivery and commercial models, whilst seeking to facilitate provider collaborative solutions. The CCG is keen to hear from all types of providers, including voluntary and community organisations (VCOs). Importantly, the CCG is planning to host an on-line market engagement / provider workshop on 13th October 2020 (10am - 1pm) and confirmation is invited from providers wishing to participate. The current scope of services is delivered through a model which provides short term interventions for 5 to 25 year olds with mild to moderate needs through various approaches including triage, advice, signposting, 121 sessions, online resources and groups. Services include anxiety, bereavement, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Low Mood, Resiliency, using CBT and IPTA approaches. Further information of the CCG's requirements and intentions for this service, and a copy of the Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) for your completion are attached. Additional information: TO EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST and TO CONFIRM 13TH OCTOBER WORKSHOP ATTENDANCE, please complete and return the Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) by 12 noon, Mon 12th October 2020 by email to David_Brownlow@nhs.net with the email subject heading "Market Engagement Response - Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Children and Young People Mental Health". Whilst participation in this engagement exercise is not a mandatory requirement for participating in any potential future procurement, the level of responses received will assist to inform the CCG as to the level of interest from the market and will be used as evidence as to the appropriate process to award a contract and whether to undertake a competitive procurement. Responses to this engagement will be helpful to the CCG which plans to engage further with those providers which do express an interest, which may also include sharing updates of the future service intentions as specifications and commercial assumptions become more clearly defined.
