This initiative falls under the training and health services category, aimed at enhancing the provision of diabetes education, particularly in light of evolving requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The engagement is set for 10th September 2020 at 2 pm via Microsoft Teams, with the deadline for booking a place being 10th September 2020. Interested parties are encouraged to access the service specification beforehand and can register for the event through Eventbrite. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in training and health services. Providers who can offer innovative digital solutions and have experience in engaging with diverse communities, particularly those in the BAME sector, would be well-suited to respond. The engagement process aims to refine the service specification and invites input from potential service providers, making it an excellent chance for businesses to influence the final procurement outcomes and foster long-term partnerships with the NHS. ## Notice ***THIS ADVERT IS FOR A MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT ONLY*** NHS Arden and GEM CSU, on behalf of NHS Birmingham and Solihull CCG are looking to run a procurement process to appoint a single provider for the provision of a Type 2 Diabetes Patient Education Service. The commissioner ran an initial market engagement event on 4th March. However, in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, requirements have changed, and the Commissioner now wishes to hold a further engagement event to work changes through with the market before going to procurement. In particular, the CCG is looking to examine how the service might be offered digitally. They also wish to discuss how they can best assist providers in reaching members of the BAME community. The commissioner intends to run the Market Engagement via Microsoft Teams on Thursday, 10th September at 2pm. Full instructions on how to access the event will be sent to you by return once you register. In order to book a place, please visit https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/type-2-diabetes-patient-education-service-market-engagement-event-tickets-115844890185. As part of the engagement process, the commissioner is making the service specification available for providers in advance of the engagement event, and this is attached to this advert. Providers are asked to share any queries or suggested improvements to the specification that they may have at the event. Input gained from the market as part of the market engagement process will be used to inform the final service specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c87af72-0cfe-4e32-b0ad-294c1fe6f7a3 | | 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 | 4 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Sep 2020 | | 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 ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS | | Locality | WEST BROMWICH | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B70 9LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG37 Sandwell | | Local authority | Sandwell | | Electoral ward | West Bromwich Central | | Westminster constituency | West Bromwich | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 4 Aug 2020 at 13:30 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c87af72-0cfe-4e32-b0ad-294c1fe6f7a3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c87af72-0cfe-4e32-b0ad-294c1fe6f7a3 4th August 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b96fa8bb-a989-405f-a49a-b919590493c7 Diabetes Education Service Specification - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/type-2-diabetes-patient-education-service-market-engagement-event-tickets-115844890185 Booking link for Eventbrite ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
