This tender is part of a strategic plan aimed at enhancing integrated health and care services in Merton, scheduled to commence in April 2021. The current stage of this tender is Planning, and it features a four-week engagement period starting from 13th January 2020, ending on 10th February 2020. A provider engagement event is set for 16th January 2020 at Merton College, which businesses may attend to gain insights into the project's objectives. This procurement opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social work services. Businesses engaged in creating person-centred care solutions or integrating services across physical and mental health would find this tender particularly relevant. Participating in this early engagement could not only help inform the service specification and procurement approach but also position these organisations favourably for future contract opportunities in the Merton area. ## Notice The London Borough of Merton together with Merton Clinical Commissioning Group wish to commission an integrated health and care services model from April 2021 to ensure long term sustainability. This work is a key priority within the Merton Health and Care Plan and for the Merton Health and Care Together Programme. We wish to commission differently to secure community services which are person centred, support prevention and are fully integrated across physical health, mental health and social care to deliver better outcomes for our residents. A four-week engagement window will begin on 13th January closing on 10th February. On January 13th, the CCG together with the London Borough of Merton will publish 'Engagement Document' which outlines our collective vision and outcomes for community services in Merton. NB: A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT WILL BE UPLOADED TO THIS NOTICE AND BE AVAILABLE FROM MONDAY 13TH JANUARY In addition, a provider engagement event will be held on 16th January at Merton College in which you are invited to participate.
