This procurement falls under the research and development services category, specifically focusing on improving patient-centred care. The tender is in the active stage and is set to conclude on 12th August 2022. The resulting contracts, expected to start on 1st September 2022, will span a duration of nearly two years, with the option to extend until November 2022, and are reported to have a combined annual value of approximately £68 million. This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses experienced in delivering community health services and consultancy. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the CCG is keen to engage local providers who have demonstrated capability in improving integration and proactive care services. Interested businesses are encouraged to express their interest via the specified procurement portal to access additional tender documentation and requirements. ## Notice The NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG and NHS West Suffolk CCG (the CCGs) conducted a comprehensive review of community services culminating in the re-writing of the service specifications to reflect a widely held desire for greater service integration, a shift from reactive to proactive services and to have a more patient focused approach. The CCGs undertook a market review exercise and concluded that the key local service providers would be best placed to deliver the specifications and most likely to achieve the objectives set out within them. To ensure this was a valid conclusion an extensive 'most capable provider' exercise was undertaken which resulted in the east Suffolk alliance (ESNEFT (Ipswich Hospital site), Suffolk GP Federation, Suffolk County Council and NSFT) and the West Suffolk alliance (WSFT, Suffolk GP Federation, Suffolk County Council and NSFT) being awarded a contract. Different contract options were considered but it was agreed by all parties that the contracts should be held by ESNEFT and WSFT on behalf of all the alliance partners. The contracts began in October 2017 and are for seven years with an option to extend for a further three. The combined contract annual value is in the region of PS68m. As we are now more than four years into the contracts, partners feel it is a good opportunity to review progress to date against the original objectives, acknowledge and celebrate key achievements and to identify and prioritise areas needing greater focus, more pace or review.
