The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a contract expected to span seven years, potentially extendable by a further two years. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. This project falls within the health services industry, with delivery locations specified in the East of England. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on learning disabilities and autism support. Companies that offer innovative, person-centred approaches to care, can play a crucial role in fulfilling the TCP's commitment to enhancing life outcomes for individuals requiring support. Providers of mainstream services that ensure accessibility and proactive community engagement are also well-suited to participate in this tender process, aligning with the TCP's goal of delivering effective, outcome-driven support to vulnerable populations. ## Notice The Southend, Essex and Thurrock Transforming Care Partnership (TCP) consists of three local authorities (Essex County, Southend Borough and Thurrock Borough Councils) and seven Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) (West Essex, Mid Essex, and North East Essex, Castle Point & Rochford, Basildon & Brentwood, Southend and Thurrock). It is anticipated that the length of contract for these services will be 7 years with a potential extension period of a further 2 years. The TCP is working to implement the new national service model for people with learning disabilities and / or autism that display behaviour that challenges, as described in 'Building the Right Support'. Whilst recognising the need to transform local systems for those people specifically identified within Transforming Care, the TCP is committed to improving the life outcomes of all people with learning disabilities (who may also have a condition on the Autistic spectrum). We are therefore taking the opportunity to transform the wider health & social care system for all individuals with a learning disability. As part of this work the TCP has co-produced with people who use services and family carers, a set of system principles and outcomes which provide the framework for all of our commissioning activity. The TCP is committed to working in partnership to deliver a person-centred, outcomes focussed approach that will: o Predict need; o Prevent the escalation of need; o Respond to people's aspirations and changing needs. The outcomes that the TCP has committed to achieving for people with learning disabilities are as follows: 1. The health and wellbeing of everyone is improved, and life expectancy is the same as for the rest of the population. 2. Individuals, families and carers are acknowledged and treated as equal partners in the planning of care and support, so that needs are understood and outcomes met. 3. Individuals and their families can communicate positive experiences of services and support throughout their lives. 4. Individuals, families and communities support each other, and are able to access the right help at the earliest point to manage issues and prevent them from getting worse. 5. Mainstream services are accessible. 6. People are able to live the lives of their choosing in their local community. 7. There is reduced reliance on inpatient settings. 8. There is a reduced rate of offending. 9. Services understand and predict arising needs so that support can be planned and delivered within the available resources. It is within this context that the 7 CCGs are seeking to procure a new Pan-Essex Specialist Learning Disability Healthcare contract to contribute to the achievement of these system outcomes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5251b4f-8ba7-4641-9acb-51743abebf2f | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | 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 | | Locality | ESSEX | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS6 7QF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH37 Essex Thames Gateway | | Local authority | Rochford | | Electoral ward | Wheatley | | Westminster constituency | Rayleigh and Wickford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 16 Oct 2017 at 13:38 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5251b4f-8ba7-4641-9acb-51743abebf2f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5251b4f-8ba7-4641-9acb-51743abebf2f 16th October 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.attain.bravosolution.co.uk Please register your interest at the following address to obtain further informaiton and RFI documentation ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
