## Summary

NHS Devon, through the NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, is engaged in planning for the procurement of Emotional Health & Wellbeing (EHWB) Services aimed at young people aged 11-18 in Devon. This market engagement process, initiated on 28th June 2022, is scheduled to conclude with the submission deadline for interested providers set for 12 midday on 13th July 2022. A virtual market engagement event is to be hosted via MS Teams on 22nd July 2022, allowing prospective bidders the opportunity to learn more and interact with the commissioning team. The services sought fall under the health and social work category, governed by the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating within the health and social services sector, particularly those with a focus on youth mental health and community-based care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, especially those capable of delivering innovative and responsive services. By engaging with NHS Devon, providers can gain valuable insights into the commissioning intentions and positioning themselves effectively for any future competitive tender processes that may evolve from this engagement exercise.

## Notice

The purpose of this market engagement questionnaire is to inform future commissioning intentions and to stimulate interest in the provision of an Emotional Health & Wellbeing (EHWB) Services for young people aged 11-18 across NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) / Devon Integrated Care Board (ICB). We are building our system around THRIVE* (Wolpert et al 2019) and its underlying principles: * Needs led * Shared Decision Making * Proactive prevention and promotion * Partnership Working * Outcome Informed * Reducing Stigma * Accessibility * Common language The Link to the Thrive framework for system change is http://implementingthrive.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/THRIVE-Framework-for-system-change-2019.pdf This market engagement is particularly focused on informing commissioning intentions towards supporting children within their local community which may include schools whose needs primarily fall within the needs based groupings of Getting Advice and Getting Help. For suppliers this process will help you to understand NHS Devon CCG/ Devon ICB's requirements for the provision of EHWB Services from April 2023 onwards. For commissioners this process will help us to gather necessary information on suppliers who are potentially interested in providing this service, to inform our onward process and decision making. Interested providers are invited to complete a short questionnaire as part of an information gathering exercise by NHS Devon to inform their strategic direction and decision making. A link to the MS Forms questionnaire is available within the Additional Text section of this Early Engagement Notice.

At this stage your interest is sought to help commissioners develop the most appropriate strategy and approach to commissioning this service. The deadline for submissions of this questionnaire is Wednesday 13th July 2022 at 12 midday.
