This is currently at the planning stage, with a market engagement notice published on 9th November 2021. Interested parties should provide their feedback by 5pm on 9th December 2021. The contracting process will involve the possibility of a subsequent tender for a potential three-year contract, extendable for an additional two years, set to commence in 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in mental and physical health services, to contribute to the NHS's goals of improving health outcomes for vulnerable populations. Businesses that can deliver community health initiatives, non-medical support services, and programmes targeting health improvements for individuals with serious mental illness would be particularly well-suited to participate in any future procurement. Engaging in this process could allow providers to expand their operations and enhance their service offerings in a critical area of public health. ## Notice Mental Health Services Physical Health Check Screen and Intervene Service NHS/SOEPS/21.831 RFI NHS West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group Request for Information (RFI) The Commissioner is seeking the views of Healthcare Providers in relation to the provision of a Physical Health Check Screen and Intervene Service for People with Serious Mental Illness in West Sussex. The Commissioner is considering a contract period of three (3) years with an option to extend for a further period of up to two (2) years (3+2) commencing in 2022. This is a process designed to help the Commissioner to form a view of the best way to commission the service and is not the beginning of a Tender exercise. A Tender advertisement may be issued at the appropriate time, if required, should the Commissioner consider that the optimum route to commission the service is through a procurement exercise. Individuals living with SMI are not consistently being offered appropriate or timely physical health assessments despite their higher risk of poor physical health. They are not being supported to use available health information and advice or to take up tests and interventions that reduce the risk of preventable health conditions. Within the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, NHS England committed to leading work to ensure that people living with severe mental illness (SMI) have their physical health needs met by increasing early detection and expanding access to evidence-based physical care assessment and intervention. Aims and objectives of the service Aims: * Improved & sustainable health outcomes for people on SMI registers * Individual resilience development * Reduction in health outcomes inequalities Objectives: * A suitable, non-medical support to enable people classified as being within the SMI group to engage with and attend the delivery of the PHC. * To provide and/or support people classified as being within the SMI cohort to access Health Improvement programs/interventions relevant to morbidities identified as a result of the PHC * To support Primary Care Networks (PCN) staff and clinicians to facilitate the uptake and delivery of the SMI PHC Your feedback at this point will not have a bearing on any future Tender submissions you may wish to offer at a later date, should the Commissioner undertake a procurement for this service. You will not be disadvantaged if you choose not to respond to this RFI but it will be helpful to understand your views at this early stage, so you are encouraged to respond as fully as you can.

Please note: NHS England and Improvement have announced that the Sussex Health and Care Partnership, which is made up of all health and care organisations across East Sussex, West Sussex, and Brighton and Hove, has successfully met the criteria to become an Integrated Care System (ICS). An ICS is a way of working across health and care organisations that allows them to work closer together, to take collective responsibility of the health and wellbeing of populations across large areas. It is not anticipated that the statutory responsibility or accountability of the individual health and care organisations working as an ICS will be affected, save for the expectation that CCG organisations will be abolished and functions transferred to the ICS. As a result of these intended healthcare reforms, the Contracting Authority(s) currently NHS East Sussex CCG/NHS West Sussex CCG/NHS Brighton and Hove CCG, may change during the life of the contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59b298ee-406a-444f-b72f-aac3a39b22a9 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | 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 | 9 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Dec 2021 | | 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 | NHS SOUTH OF ENGLAND PROCUREMENT SERVICES | | Locality | LEWES | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN7 2FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Lewes | | Electoral ward | Lewes Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Lewes | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 9 Nov 2021 at 11:27 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59b298ee-406a-444f-b72f-aac3a39b22a9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59b298ee-406a-444f-b72f-aac3a39b22a9 9th November 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning e-Tendering Portal ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
