This procurement is aimed at providing services for various Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in the North East of England, specifically Newcastle Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, and Sunderland. The procurement falls under the health services category and is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement end date set for 2nd October 2020. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest in this process, which is facilitated through the In-Tend electronic tendering portal. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with capabilities in mental health and legal support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that align with the requirements for mental health conveyancing services would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this RFI exercise allows businesses to demonstrate their capacity and readiness, providing a platform for potential partnerships in delivering critical services aimed at detained patients under the Mental Health Act. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is a commissioning support service hosted by NHS England and is managing this Request for Information (RFI) and a potential future procurement process for the provision of Mental Health Conveyancing for Newcastle Gateshead CCG, North Tyneside CCG, South Tyneside CCG and Sunderland CCG for patients who are being detained under the Mental Health Act. Additional information: The Commissioner's is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence/information, to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed Mental Health Conveyancing for the people of Newcastle/Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland and also to alert the market to a possible future tender opportunity. It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Official Journal European Union (OJEU) and on Contracts Finder. It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI exercise. NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to access the RFI documentation and return completed RFI documentation. Please note that it is free to register on In-Tend, which can be accessed at any time of day as long as you have a working internet connection. The In-Tend portal can be found at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu (Please follow the registration instructions if you are not already registered) and look for the project NECS348 Request for Information - Mental Health Conveyancing. Potential providers are to note that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9dfce0dc-3a9d-4e86-be8f-560233c55f4f | | 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 | 18 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Oct 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 | NORTH ENGLAND COMMISSIONING SUPPORT | | Locality | THORNABY | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS17 6BL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC31 Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees | | Local authority | Stockton-on-Tees | | Electoral ward | Mandale & Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 18 Sep 2020 at 14:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9dfce0dc-3a9d-4e86-be8f-560233c55f4f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9dfce0dc-3a9d-4e86-be8f-560233c55f4f 18th September 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
