This initiative, targeting the health services industry, seeks to engage vendors by the engagement end date of 23rd February 2018. Interested parties can find additional information and register their interest through the relevant channels. The overarching goal is to develop a multidisciplinary network that provides effective treatment options, with a particular focus on musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in pain management, multidisciplinary health services, and community care solutions. Companies with expertise in delivering innovative health interventions, as well as those experienced in patient-centred approaches and community health networks, would be well-suited to participate.

The aim of the service is patients self-managing in primary care. A key objective will be to assess and treat patients within a multidisciplinary model; having access to a range of disciplines and high quality interventions that can deal with the physical, psychological, social and behavioural needs of patients with chronic pain. We expect development of a local network for managing patients with chronic pain. Initially the focus will be MSK conditions (including neurological) with a view to expanding the service beyond MSK Neurological conditions. In 15/16 the 4 CCGs coded the following Pain Management activity: * 3,355 admissions * Delivered 15,047 outpatient appointments with 8556 pain management procedures * 3127 inpatient appointments * Prescribed 276,159 opioids * Prescribed (excluding Opioid analgesics) 3.4m items We are looking for ideas on what should / could be delivered in the community.
