This initiative falls within the health and social work services industry and is currently in the planning stage, with an expected contract period commencing on 1st April 2018 and concluding on 31st March 2023. The estimated value of the services is approximately £300,000 per annum, with a Market Engagement Event scheduled for 22nd June 2017 in Nottingham. Interested parties must complete a preliminary questionnaire by 5 PM on 20th June 2017 to participate. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand their services in the health and social care sector. Companies specialising in sexual assault referral services, forensic medical examinations, and related social work are particularly well-suited to compete for involvement in this project. The planned division of the contract into five lots also allows small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage effectively, potentially leading to collaborative partnerships to deliver valuable community-focused services. ## Notice NHS England will lead on the co-commissioning for Adult Sexual Assault Referral Centre services across the East Midlands alongside the Police and Crime Commissioner and Local Authority (where agreed). The estimated value of the services is circa PS300k per annum (subject to change prior to ITT publication). NHS England is currently working with the 5 Offices of the Police Crime Commissioners across the East Midlands in order to co-commission and include additional services, for example Forensic Medical Examinations. This will be finalised prior to the ITT being published. It is NHS England's intention to split this procurement exercise into 5 lots (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire) but this will be finalised prior to the ITT being published. A Market Engagement Event is to take place in Nottingham on the 22nd June 2017. If you wish to attend, please complete the 'pqq' relating to ASARC by 5pm 20th June 2017.
