The market engagement event is scheduled for 6 February 2018, from 2pm to 4pm, at the NHS West Kent CCG office located at Wharf House, Medway Wharf Road, Tonbridge, Kent. Interested parties must express their intention to attend by 9am on 2 February 2018, following the engagement end date set for the same day. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in health services. Potential participants in the market engagement event could include organisations that provide midwifery, maternal healthcare, or related support services. Engaging in this process will enable businesses to showcase their capabilities and potentially shape the future delivery of community health services in the West Kent area. ## Notice The Commissioner (NHS West Kent Clinical Commissioning Group) is aiming to establish a community midwifery service in the West Kent area as a pilot for implementation on a wider scale. The pilot is expected to involve treating approximately 200 patients, possibly over a two year period. This forms part of the work that is being undertaken by the Maternity Choice and Personalisation Pioneer which is a joint venture between NHS West Kent CCG, NHS High Weald Lewes Havens CCG and Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust (the Trust). Additional information: The Commissioner is holding a market engagement event at the office of NHS West Kent CCG, Wharf House, Medway Wharf Road, Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1RE on Tuesday 6 February from 2pm to 4pm. Parties wishing to attend the event should express their interest by email to Natalie Manuel, Commissioning Manager - Maternity, NHS West Kent CCG at natalie.manuel@nhs.net to arrive before 9am on Friday 2 February 2018. We ask that no more than 3 representatives attend from each interested organisation. The event will be conducted primarily as an open forum. Providers will also be able to request individual meetings with the Commissioner at the event, and to provide written comments in the week following the event Disclaimer This engagement does not commit the commissioner to undertake any subsequent procurement process for the service. Participation or non-participation in any early engagement does not entitle, commit, or disbar any provider from participating in any subsequent procurement process for the service. Any subsequent procurement for the service will be advertised separately as appropriate. Any provider wishing to participate in any subsequent procurement for the service will need to respond to any subsequent notice as appropriate. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22849aae-2608-49c9-bab7-be6a69fdc049 | | 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 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Feb 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 | TONBRIDGE | | Post town | Tonbridge | | Postcode | TN9 1RE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ46 West Kent | | Local authority | Tonbridge and Malling | | Electoral ward | Cage Green & Angel | | Westminster constituency | Tonbridge | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 26 Jan 2018 at 08:47 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22849aae-2608-49c9-bab7-be6a69fdc049 - 24 Jan 2018 at 12:18 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22849aae-2608-49c9-bab7-be6a69fdc049 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22849aae-2608-49c9-bab7-be6a69fdc049 26th January 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f7bbd51e-650c-4cc2-addf-78a0de72438b Market Event - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/84aeaf7b-91e5-43cf-9f2c-7ec22e6b6499 Draft Specification ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
