This tender focuses on providing essential health support services for the HIV-positive population in Brent, United Kingdom. The engagement period is set to conclude on 11 March 2022, with current services provided by Living Well, which are being evaluated for potential contract renewal or reassessment. The proposed service is categorised under community health services and aims to foster an inclusive, accessible environment for all demographic groups in need of support. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses that specialise in health and social care services, particularly those with experience in managing community health initiatives, counselling, and holistic therapies, such as aromatherapy and life coaching. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to engage in this tender, particularly those looking to expand their footprint in health services tailored to vulnerable populations, thereby contributing positively to the overall well-being of the community. ## Notice NWL CCG requires a locally based service in Brent to provide support to the HIV positive population.

NWL CCG is currently of the view that the full scope of the services described are capable of being provided only by Living Well (LW). While other organisation may be able to provide elements of the service requirement, LW can provide the full scope to the cohort with a wide range of services designed to improve & maintain overall mental health & wellbeing while also helping to reduce loneliness & social isolation. Any capable provider able to provide the full scope may come forward by 11th March 2022 to engage with the CCG. In the case that LW is the only provider capable of delivering the services described, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to Living Well for up to 2 years. During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7aa7fa8-ec18-4cb9-a4a2-c3a51c31e304 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 10 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Mar 2022 | | 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 | NORTH WEST LONDON CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Harrow | | Postcode | HA1 2XY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI74 Harrow and Hillingdon | | Local authority | Harrow | | Electoral ward | Marlborough | | Westminster constituency | Harrow West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 10 Feb 2022 at 14:21 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7aa7fa8-ec18-4cb9-a4a2-c3a51c31e304 - 9 Feb 2022 at 12:24 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e55dcbc8-7a17-4780-9909-a5b3859c6b8e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7aa7fa8-ec18-4cb9-a4a2-c3a51c31e304 10th February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e55dcbc8-7a17-4780-9909-a5b3859c6b8e 9th February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
