This tender falls under the health services category and concerns various support services aimed at assisting marginalised groups such as the homeless and refugees. The contract is estimated to be worth around £780,000 per annum, with the initial budget allocated for the 2017/2018 period being £390,000. Interested parties may provide feedback on the draft specification until the 24th of March, 2017, with a planned future notice date of 1 April, 2017. This procurement opportunity offers substantial avenues for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that have expertise in providing health and support services. Companies that specialise in social services, community health initiatives, or have a track record of offering solutions to vulnerable populations would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with the commissioning group for feedback on the service specifications may also enhance chances of successful engagement in the tender process. ## Notice Ipswich and East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group and West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group are seeking to re-commission a contract for the Marginalised and Vulnerable Adults Service (MVA); the redesigned service is due to start in October 2017 after a tender process has identified a preferred provider(s). The MVA Service currently provides specialist health advice and support to a range of groups including homeless, refugees, migrant workers, ex-prisoners, Gypsies and Travellers, and Roma Communities providing a key link with Primary Care practices within the CCG areas (excluding Waveney). In addition, the Service works with a range of statutory and third sector organisations to address health inequalities faced by marginalised and vulnerable population groups, some with significant health needs; this includes local authorities, acute hospitals, mental health, third Sector, community organisations and other local health and social care providers. The redesigned service is due to start in October 2017 and is expected to be worth in the region of PS780,000 per annum. In order to ensure that the service specification which will be the subject of the procurement is appropriate for delivery the Clinical commissioning Groups would like to receive feedback. Attached to this notice is a copy of the draft specification which will be released with the tender. If you have any comments on the specification please return these to the Clinical Commissioning Group via the following email jane.garnett@suffolk.nhs.uk by the 24th March 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44eee5f2-4aae-47ab-b054-58e1e9138446 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement 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 | 14 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Mar 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2017 - 30 Sep 2022 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST SUFFOLK CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | IPSWICH | | Post town | Ipswich | | Postcode | IP8 4DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH61 Babergh and Mid Suffolk | | Local authority | Mid Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Bramford | | Westminster constituency | Central Suffolk and North Ipswich | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 14 Mar 2017 at 09:56 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44eee5f2-4aae-47ab-b054-58e1e9138446 - 8 Mar 2017 at 12:19 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44eee5f2-4aae-47ab-b054-58e1e9138446 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44eee5f2-4aae-47ab-b054-58e1e9138446 14th March 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/41a1ffec-6d87-485a-91e0-466ecedccca0 MVA Service Specification - http://www.ipswichandeastsuffolkccg.nhs.uk NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group - http://www.westsuffolkccg.nhs.uk NHS West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
