## Summary

The NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified providers for the delivering a Derbyshire wide (including Derby City), Targeted Early Intervention Service to address children and young people's mental health for 0-17 year olds." This initiative is focused on providing targeted support for young individuals registered with member GP practices across Derbyshire CCG, with the engagement period due to close on 7th September 2018. This service, classified under miscellaneous health services, aims to improve mental health outcomes for children and young people, with an emphasis on responding to local strategic needs in the East Midlands of the UK.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in providing early intervention mental health support. Companies that can demonstrate capacity and capability in delivering similar services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-positioned to compete. The process encourages early engagement and networking, allowing providers to form partnerships and develop their service offerings before the official procurement decision is made.

## Notice

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden & GEM CSU) on behalf of the Derbyshire CCGs including NHS North Derbyshire CCG (who is acting as lead Commissioner for this process), NHS Hardwick CCG, NHS Erewash CCG and NHS Southern Derbyshire CCG are inviting Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified providers capable of delivering a Derbyshire wide (including Derby City), Targeted Early Intervention Service to address children and young people's mental health for 0-17 year olds who are registered with member GP Practices of NHS Southern Derbyshire, Hardwick, Erewash and North Derbyshire CCGs for which they are the responsible commissioner. The Targeted Early Intervention Service provides the opportunity to improve the outcomes for children and young people with moderate mental health problems. It is being commissioned in response to strategic priority five of the Derbyshire and Derby Future in Mind plan. Our aim is to consolidate, stabilise and strengthen our offer to children, young people and families based on feedback from existing service provision and learning to date. The service is intended to support those children who need more specialist support than can be provided by schools, primary care, local authorities and more general services for children in communities, but who do not meet current specialist CAMHS thresholds. The intention is to provide short evidence-informed interventions as needs emerge to improve outcomes and reduce the need for future more intensive CAMHS interventions and reduce the likelihood of them developing a more serious mental health condition because of the timely support they will receive. The service will fit the 'Getting Help' part of the Thrive Model, which supports those "children, young people and families who would benefit from focused, evidence- based treatment with clear aims and criteria for assessing whether aims have been achieved". Thrive Model for CAMHS (Anna Freud Centre & Tavistock and Portman NHS, 2014) Additional information: Please note that this expression of interest has been designed to allow the market visibility of the proposed opportunity and support early engagement and networking between providers looking to sub-contract or form partnerships with other providers. A Market engagement event is being considered by Commissioners to take place week commencing 24th September 18. If you wish to attend any future events regarding this service, please ensure you complete the PQQ questionnaire. The aim of the expression of interest exercise is to; 1. Support the CCGs informed decision making on the potential options on the future commissioning of these services; 2. To help refine the commissioning and procurement approach and; 3. To gauge the level of interest from the market of capable providers with capacity across Derbyshire to deliver the services illustrated above. This is a market testing exercise and does not commit the CCG to carry out a procurement process. Current services will remain in place during this period in line with existing contracts and service level agreements. Bidders who have expressed an interest in this market testing exercise will have the opportunity to submit a separate response to the Contract Notice as applicable. If you wish to express an interest please register on the Bravo Portal https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk. The PQQ reference is PQQ_527. Once registered please complete the questions in the qualification envelope which asks providers to give details about your organisation's name and postal address, email address, contact name and number. Your response should also include capability and previous experience of delivering this or a similar level of service. Please note the deadline for responses is by 12pm (noon) on 7th September 2018.
