## Summary

The Cheshire East Council has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Joint Strategic Needs Assessment," conducted within the health and social care sector. This contract, valued at £145,733, was awarded following an open procedure. The tender period concluded on 8 December 2015, while the contract itself is set to run from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2020. The assessment aims to collaboratively identify local health and social needs and involve various stakeholders across the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the social research services industry. Companies with expertise in health assessments, community engagement, and social care are well-suited to compete, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Engaging in this procurement process could not only drive revenue but also enhance collaboration with local authorities and health organisations, thereby fostering community innovation and service efficacy.

## Notice

Health and Wellbeing Boards have a duty to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for their area. The Statutory Guidance on Joint Strategic Needs Assessments and Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategies published by the Department of Health in March 2013 outlines the required scope of JSNAs; to identify health and social care needs that can be met or affected by local authority and NHS partners working collaboratively. In Cheshire East these partners are Cheshire East Council, Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), South Cheshire CCG and NHS England. In addition, involving a wide range of partners and local communities in developing the JSNA strengthens the assessment of local needs and ensures the JSNA is a useful resource base which can influence the work of service providers across all sectors, schools, criminal justice agencies and fire and rescue services. The public, including socially excluded and vulnerable members of the community, should be involved throughout the process of developing the JSNA so that their views, experiences, needs and assets are fully understood and that they have a genuine voice and influence over service planning. Additional information: This tender was conducted via the Chest.
