Currently in the planning stage, this tender aims to develop support structures for these vulnerable groups. Key milestones include an engagement end date of 29 April 2022, with the possibility of contract awards extending for up to 18 months after this deadline, following a period of evaluation and potential extensions to current contracts. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and community services sector, particularly those experienced in providing counselling and support services for families with disabled children. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage with the buying organisation and demonstrate their capabilities before the deadline. This is an excellent chance for organisations looking to enhance their service offerings within the healthcare space and to play a pivotal role in improving mental health and wellbeing outcomes for affected families. ## Notice NWL CCG requires the provision of the special education needs and disabilities (SEND) Parent/Carer Counselling Support services in Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea. The aim of the service is to provide service users access to support for parents/ carers who are lifelong carers of disabled CYP to reduce their vulnerability and plays a key role in improving mental health and wellbeing outcomes for two vulnerable cohorts which is the parent / carer cohort of children with ASD as well as the children whom they are caring for. This service provides carers of these cohorts with important counselling support at a time when a lifelong disability of their child has been diagnosed. This service reduces inequalities for people with learning disabilities and removes barriers to reducing the wider determinants of health, thereby impacting positively on access to equitable health care for this vulnerable group who struggle with access to primary and secondary health services in addition to other universal services. This program is both run by and attended by parent carers, which helps to embed peer-based model of support. The CCG currently has contract arrangements in place with the 'Make it Happen' Community Group Charitable Provider and 'Full of Life' Community Group Charitable Provider until 31st March 2022. The purpose of this PIN is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions to initiate another 18 month contract with the current providers while considering options for making future arrangements for this service. Providers capable to deliver the service may come forward by 29th April 2022 to engage with the CCG. In your response to this opportunity, please advise your interest and demonstrate capacity and capability to deliver this service via: https://airtable.com/shr52NBGIuyGSsvoY If it is that the above provider are the only provider capable of delivering the service, then the CCG will look to award a further contract for up to 18 months beyond April 2022. Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded. During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec80f978-3cfb-4c6c-be04-5d4045454c14 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Apr 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 | NORTH WEST LONDON CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 5JD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Marylebone | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85100000 - Health services - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 29 Mar 2022 at 15:51 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec80f978-3cfb-4c6c-be04-5d4045454c14 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec80f978-3cfb-4c6c-be04-5d4045454c14 29th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://airtable.com/shr52NBGIuyGSsvoY ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
