A virtual Market Engagement Event is scheduled to take place on 12th May 2025, between 13:00 and 14:00 via MS Teams. This event is crucial for stakeholders in the community health services industry, specifically within the East of England. The procurement process aims to consolidate existing fragmented services into a cohesive and efficient system. Key milestones include the engagement end date on 12th May 2025. The procurement method involves the implementation of two distinct lots to cater to diverse demographic needs. This tender represents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in community health services, with a focus on mental wellbeing support and intervention. SMEs and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as the procurement strategy favours innovative and adaptable service providers. By engaging in this process, businesses can establish a critical presence in a harmonised regional healthcare system and potentially secure contracts that provide impactful mental health services, thereby contributing to the reduction of health disparities across the region. ## Notice NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") invites suitably qualified providers to attend a virtual Market Engagement event for the provision Integrated 'Healthy Minds' (Mental Health Services) on Monday 12th May 2025 at 13:00hrs - 14:00hrs. The session will be recorded and the materials presented by the Commissioners will be shared with interested parties following the event. There are currently multiple pathways into different 'Wellbeing' mental health services due to historic commissioning arrangements made by five separate Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). The Authority was established in July 2022, superseding the CCGs. The Authority aims to address the health inequalities across the system by implementing a new single service that will ensure an equitable service and support early diagnosis and intervention for patients. Currently, multiple VCSE providers deliver wellbeing-related services across the ICS footprint. These include: - Wellbeing Hubs - Happy Hubs - Positive Pathways for 18-25s - Adult Positive Pathways This fragmented model has resulted in duplicated services, variable quality and access, inconsistent outcomes, and inefficiencies in service delivery. The Commissioners are seeking to undertake a single procurement approach to deliver a whole-system model that is equitable, consistent, and outcomes-focused. The procurement process will be structured into two distinct lots to better meet the varying needs of the population and to streamline service delivery. These are: a) Lot 1 - Healthy Mind Services- currently known as 'Wellbeing Hubs', 'Happy Hubs' and 'Positive Pathways' Services. This lot will focus on delivering community-based mental wellbeing support, promoting resilience, early intervention, and social connection. b) Lot 2 - Depression Wellbeing Calls - a targeted service aimed at providing proactive support for people who have been newly diagnosed with depression by their Primary Care Practitioner and/or have been prescribed medication, referred to Talking Therapies or both. The Market Engagement event will take place virtually via MS Teams on Monday 12th May 2025 at 13:00hrs - 14:00hrs. The event will offer an opportunity to engage with stakeholders and for prospective service providers to learn more about the service. The procurement process and timetable will also be shared.
