This process falls under the health services industry category and is located in London, England. Currently in the planning stage, the procurement is aimed at reviewing and improving specialist inpatient services for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, particularly to develop local provisions and reduce out-of-area placements. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 12th August 2019, allowing for market engagement through discussions and potential follow-up events. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for healthcare providers with expertise in learning disabilities and autism. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Providers capable of offering specialist assessment and treatment, as well as rehabilitation services, will be well-suited to engage, considering the focus on enhancing local service provisions to meet community needs. ## Notice The North West London Collaboration of Clinical Commissioning Groups (NW London CCGs) are reviewing the current provision of specialist inpatient services for adults with learning disabilities and / or autism who have mental health needs and / or challenging or offending behaviour, with a specific focus on developing local provision to avoid out of area placements. While modelling future capacity requirements is being undertaken, the NW London CCGs wish to invite interest and engagement from existing and potential providers, both from the NHS and the independent sector. This will be to better understand the opportunities and issues associated with developing the provision of services closer to NW London in order to meet the needs of local patients through care and treatment closer to home. This programme of review is being undertaken on behalf of all eight NW London CCGs which are: NHS Brent; NHS Central London; NHS Ealing; NHS Hammersmith & Fulham; NHS Harrow; NHS Hillingdon; NHS Hounslow; and NHS West London CCGs. The scope of review and engagement will include a focus on: Specialist assessment and treatment beds for adults with learning disabilities and / or autism; Locked rehabilitation beds for adults with LD / autism with mental health or challenging behaviour; Locked rehabilitation beds for adults with LD/ autism with forensic needs; Open rehabilitation beds for adults with LD / autism with mental health or challenging behaviour; and Open rehabilitation beds for adults with LD/ autism with forensic needs. Overall, current service provision is in place for approximately 27 LD/ASD inpatient care packages at any given time with an overall contract value in 2018/19 of ~PS10.5m. The intended outcome from this engagement, which may include direct follow-up discussions and potentially provider events, is to inform local NHS commissioning options and intentions. This will include the development of future service specifications, contracting models and payment approaches. Commencing immediately through this Notice, the programme of work will continue through this summer to enable commissioning options to be considered ahead of contract planning for 2020 and beyond. Your participation if these services are of current or future interest to you as an appropriately registered and experienced healthcare provider organisation is therefore important. Further supporting information is attached within a Memorandum of Information (MOI), along with a Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ). Additional information: If you have an interest in the future provision of these services for patients from NWL, please confirm your interest to engage by completing the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire and return this by email to miriam.reilly1@nhs.net by 12:00, Monday 12 August 2019 at the latest - but the sooner the better so that follow-up contact can commence. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4505cd1-3282-4c5c-ac21-2f089655ca08 | | 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 | 23 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Aug 2019 | | 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 | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M50 2UW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Quays | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 23 Jul 2019 at 12:00 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4505cd1-3282-4c5c-ac21-2f089655ca08 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4505cd1-3282-4c5c-ac21-2f089655ca08 23rd July 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b083c464-c008-4592-b688-14d01e5063b1 Memorandum of Information - Adult LD and Autism NW London - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/40920388-3d9f-4dfc-b136-dbdb01259850 Market Engagement QUESTIONNAIRE - Adult LD and Autism NW London ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
