## Summary

NHS Shared Business Services is currently in the planning stage for a contract titled "Request for Information: Community MSK Service in Harrow" aimed at enhancing musculoskeletal (MSK) services in the London region. The deadline for interested service providers to submit their RFI questionnaires is 16th July 2018. This procurement process is essential for seeking innovative solutions to improve care efficiencies and reduce avoidable acute hospital visits, highlighting a commitment to addressing the complexities of care management within the local population.

The tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in musculoskeletal issues and integrated care solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, as the NHS seeks forward-thinking providers capable of demonstrating successful patient outcomes and innovative care models. This engagement aims to shape a comprehensive service delivery model that redefines patient care journeys, opening avenues for those with the relevant capabilities to expand their market presence in North West London.

## Notice

NHS Harrow CCG would like to engage with service providers who are forward thinking and innovative within the area of Musculoskeletal (MSK) specialisms. We recognize that far too many patients are attending Acute Hospitals needlessly and can be treated more efficiently within the Community and Primary settings. We would like service providers that recognize the challenges we face across North West London, as our populations increase, and the complexity of managing their care requires a much improved integrated approach. Further information on the proposed service can be found in the attached RFI Questionnaire. Please see the attachments section of this notice. Additional information: Interested providers are asked to complete and return the attached RFI Questionnaire to Phil Oldfield at NHS Harrow CCG on phil.oldfield1@nhs.net by close of business on 16th July 2018.
