This open procurement process falls under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £2,500,000. The tender period concludes on 2nd July 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 12th September 2018 and run until 1st October 2023. The services are to be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with a minimum contract value set at £2,000,000. This procurement opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social care. Businesses that provide effective Care Navigation services and have experience in social prescribing models will be particularly well-suited to participate, facilitating access to vital services for individuals navigating the health and social care landscape. ## Notice Medway Council and NHS Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (the Commissioners) are committed to procuring a high quality, effective and outcome focused service that provides value for money. We want a new model of working that ensures key health and social care priorities are addressed by the best placed organisation Care Navigation fits into the 10 High Impact Changes outlined in the GP Forward View. Care Navigation is part of Social Prescribing and as a fundamental supports patient's in their journey through the health and social care system. Care Navigation is vital for those individuals who need support in locating and accessing the appropriate services for themselves and those they care for. Care Navigation should not be seen in isolation as a project on its own. It is part of the bigger Social Prescribing project led by Medway Public Health and has links to other areas of the GP Forward View such as Sign Posting for Receptionists and MDT's wrapped around the patients. The term Care Navigator has been used in Medway to describe a link worker and refers to a non-clinically trained person who works in a social prescribing service and receives the person who has been referred to them. They offer a service that is based on an equal relationship between the person receiving support and the link worker. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0a4217-0c1f-48b0-9e2b-73bad55aba01 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | 2 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Sep 2018 - 1 Oct 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MEDWAY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHATHAM | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME4 4TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ41 Medway | | Local authority | Medway | | Electoral ward | Chatham Central & Brompton | | Westminster constituency | Rochester and Strood | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 11 Jun 2018 at 14:11 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0a4217-0c1f-48b0-9e2b-73bad55aba01 - 30 May 2018 at 09:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0a4217-0c1f-48b0-9e2b-73bad55aba01 - 30 May 2018 at 08:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0a4217-0c1f-48b0-9e2b-73bad55aba01 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0a4217-0c1f-48b0-9e2b-73bad55aba01 11th June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId88a898f9-e663-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.medway.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
