The engagement exercise aims to gather input from potential providers to inform future service models for Northumberland, with a key milestone deadline for responses set for 12:00 noon on 16th October 2018. This tender is classified under health services (CPV code 85100000) and will be operated from Durham, within the North East region of the United Kingdom. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in health services, particularly those specialising in musculoskeletal and pain management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) can particularly benefit from this engagement by contributing their insights and service offerings. By participating in this process, businesses can position themselves for potential contracts and collaborations with the NHS, supporting the delivery of vital community health services. ## Notice NHS Northumberland Clinical Commissioning Group proposes to engage with the wider market to inform future service model development and/or commissioning intentions for the provision of a Joint Musculoskeletal and Pain Service (JMAPS) for the population of Northumberland. The objectives are to: Provide clinical assessment, treatment, medicines management and patient navigation within a comprehensive community service for patients with MSK and pain problems. Enhance the management of patients within the community and actively manage the demand for secondary care services ensuring patients have prompt access to appropriate treatment and are supported to self-manage where appropriate. Identify patients who are appropriate for surgical intervention and make onwards referral. Work closely with specialists, in the relevant sub-specialities, to ensure effective care for patients and develop agreed models of care for common musculoskeletal conditions and pain management. Support the referring clinician / health professional in identifying and actively managing patients at high risk of chronic pain and support the patient's needs based on lifestyle. Use shared decision making (SDM) to deliver support to patients enabling them to manage their condition. This will include supporting the external SDM process for patients who may require major joint replacement surgery. Enable patients to take ownership and to adopt strategies of living, which allow them to lead as fulfilling and independent lives as possible with less reliance on the health care system. Work with GPs to increase their knowledge and confidence of diagnosis and management of MSK and pain conditions. Encourage collaborative and cross boundary working with other contracted parties. Maximise technology such as websites and Apps to help patients to manage their condition.
