This procurement falls within the health services industry category and is located in the South East region of England. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone being a virtual pre-procurement market engagement event scheduled for the 14th of July 2022. The contract is expected to commence on the 1st of January 2023, with an initial duration of three years and the possibility of a two-year extension. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on health and social care, particularly those that are innovative and progressive in delivering person-centred services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with experience supporting children and young people facing complex needs. Potential bidders should prepare to engage during the upcoming market event to understand the contract model and service specifications fully. ## Notice Frimley CCG (soon to be Frimley Integrated Care Board) has been successful in its bid for NHSE Funding to implement a Keyworker Service for Children and Young People (CYP) in Slough, Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead and Bracknell Forest with a Learning Disability (LD) and/or who are autistic. The 'Key Working Function' has been developed as a response to the NHS England and NHS Improvement Long Term Plan(LTP) commitment that by 2023/24, children and young people with a learning disability, autism or both, with the most complex needs will have a designated Key Worker, implementing the recommendations made by Dame Christine Lenehan. The purpose of the Keyworker service is to support children and young people and their families to navigate a complex system, have their voices heard, and have their needs met at the right time. The East Berkshire Keyworker Service will be delivered in two phases: * Year 1: Keyworker support will be offered to Children and young people with a learning disability and autistic children and young people with most complex needs from ages 0-25 and their families, on the Dynamic Support Register as an inpatient or at risk of admission to a mental health hospital and * Year 2: Keyworker support will be extended to those who face multiple vulnerabilities such as looked after and adopted children, and children and young people moving between services, like moving to adult services. The contract is expected to be for 3 years with the option to extend for 2 further years and is anticipated to commence on the 1st January 2023. This is a real opportunity for innovative and progressive providers to deliver a person-centred and needs based approach to support children and young people and their families. We are therefore keen to encourage providers of all sizes to take the opportunity to bid for this service. The CCG invites interested providers to attend a virtual pre-procurement market engagement event on the 14th July 2022, which will be held on MS Teams. The format of the event will be a presentation from the commissioners followed by Q&A for Bidders. The presentations will touch on the contract model, service specification, activity and finances. We will be seeking views on appetite and ability to provide the service as proposed and will provide opportunity for open discussion and feedback. Providers interested in joining the event should contact Mark Stanbrook by emailing mstanbrook@nhs.net (and cc'ing Caitlin.dyke@nhs.net) to express their interest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b22f40e-7c8e-4d84-b6e4-e09a0ff4121f | | 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 | 29 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 14 Jul 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 | NHS SOUTH, CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | WINDSOR | | Post town | Slough | | Postcode | SL4 3DP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ15 Berkshire East | | Local authority | Windsor and Maidenhead | | Electoral ward | Old Windsor | | Westminster constituency | Windsor | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 29 Jun 2022 at 07:18 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b22f40e-7c8e-4d84-b6e4-e09a0ff4121f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b22f40e-7c8e-4d84-b6e4-e09a0ff4121f 29th June 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
