This initiative falls under the health services category (CPV Code: 85100000) and is centred in Epping, England. The engagement event is scheduled for 22nd July 2020, with a registration deadline set for 5pm on 13th July 2020. Interested suppliers are encouraged to participate in one-on-one discussions regarding the upcoming service procurement, which aims to innovate clinical interventions within the socio-economic context of the local population. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in psychological therapies and mental health services. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given their ability to foster community connections and deliver tailored services. The focus on collaboration with existing local provisions highlights the importance of a provider's understanding of the community's unique needs, making this a vital opportunity for businesses committed to improving mental health outcomes. ## Notice West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group is inviting suitably qualified providers to attend a market engagement event which will inform the West Essex CCGs intentions to procure an Improved Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service for its patient population. The casual connection between poverty, unemployment and social isolation and common mental health difficulties is well evidenced. Commissioners have therefore taken an innovative and positive new approach that locates the mandated clinical IAPT interventions within the wider socio-economic context in which the service and its users exist. It is expected that, through a strong outward-focus and the establishment of formal referral connections to and from a wide range of existing provision across the area, within limited resources, the clinical IAPT interventions will be better supported to maximise their effectiveness and sustainability to improve service user outcomes. The format of the event will be 1:1 discussions with interested providers, conducted virtually via MS Teams. These 1:1 event will take place on Wednesday 22nd July. Interested providers will be allocated a 1-hour timeslot following the registration deadline, which is 5pm on Monday 13th July. To register your attendance please visit the Attain Bravo Solution Portal. You will also find further information relating to the required service and key areas which commissioners would like to discuss, interested providers should consider all supporting documentation in advance. Additional information: Please note: Any expenditure, work or effort undertaken by you prior to any subsequent procurement is a matter solely for your own commercial judgement. The commissioners reserve the right to withdraw from the process at any time or to not tender the service, or to tender the service on a different basis. In such circumstances, and in any event, the commissioners and/or their advisors shall not be liable for any costs or loss of expenses whatsoever incurred by any organisation, agent or subsidiary that may have contributed to any proposals submitted to this notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1b582a0-22c8-4eaf-b2a9-9335068cacd3 | | 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 | 29 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Jul 2020 | | 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 | ATTAIN HEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES LTD | | Locality | EPPING | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM16 6TN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH35 West Essex | | Local authority | Epping Forest | | Electoral ward | Epping East | | Westminster constituency | Epping Forest | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 29 Jun 2020 at 15:36 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1b582a0-22c8-4eaf-b2a9-9335068cacd3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b1b582a0-22c8-4eaf-b2a9-9335068cacd3 29th June 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login Attain Bravo Solution E-Tendering Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
