The initiative, titled "Expressions of Interest to attend a Market engagement event for the future Provision of Orthotic Services across Derbyshire," invites interested parties to engage with the NHS regarding this opportunity. The market engagement event is scheduled for 15th July 2019, and organisations must register by 12pm on 12th July 2019 to attend. This procurement falls under the healthcare industry category, specifically focusing on orthotic services, and will take place in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of delivering orthotic services. Companies that provide medical equipment, rehabilitation services, or have expertise in patient care and management may find this an advantageous opportunity. The market engagement event will enable potential suppliers to understand future commissioning intentions and influence the refined procurement approach, making it a crucial platform for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector within Derbyshire. ## Notice NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS AGEM CSU) on behalf of NHS Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (formally known as NHS Erewash, NHS Hardwick, NHS North Derbyshire and NHS Southern Derbyshire CCG) recently advertised an Expressions of Interest (EoI) from suitably qualified providers capable of delivering Orthotic Services to the patients registered with member GP Practices of NHS Derbyshire CCG's for which they are the responsible commissioner. Commissioners are in the process of undertaking a full service review and are inviting providers to attend a market engagement event to be held 15th July 2019 between 10am and 1pm - venue to be confirmed. If you have not already registered for this opportunity via the previous EoI and would like to attend the event to find out about any future opportunities, please respond with the following details by 12pm (noon) Friday 12th July 2019 to the address below. Registration is required for this event. Please provider up to a maximum of 2 attendees Names, Job Titles and contact information to Lisa.innes1@nhs.net by 12pm (noon) Friday 12th July 2019. Background: Orthotic service provision has the potential to achieve significant health, quality of life and economic benefits across the local health economy. To individual patients, the correct supply and fitting of orthotic devices can be a major factor in the management of their condition, improvement in the quality of life and the prevention of future problems. Evidence highlighted in the emPOWER patient led orthotics Charter states that for every PS1 spent, the NHS saves PS4. A recent national and local review of orthotics services has highlighted a number of issues in regards to current provision and commissioners are looking to commission a single Derbyshire out-patient service from a single specification across a number of community locations providing in reach services to secondary care where appropriate. Additional information: The aim of this Expression of Interest / market engagement event is to; 1. Allow the market visibility of the proposed opportunity; 2.
