Interested parties are advised to submit their reservations by 3rd November 2015 to participate in the event. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those that focus on child welfare and forensic care. Companies that provide child and youth support services, clinical care, and those with experience in managing healthcare networks would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The engagement event will offer valuable insights into the anticipated contract conditions and the procurement process, making it an excellent platform for businesses to leverage their expertise in this sensitive area of care. ## Notice Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (Arden & GEM CSU) on behalf of NHS England (North Midlands) would like to invite providers to attend a Market Engagement Event which will inform the market of the intentions to procure a regional Paediatric Sexual Assault Service (SARC). NHS England wishes to commission a regional clinical and forensic paediatric sexual assault service for children and young persons who have been sexually assaulted or raped (acute and historic cases). This will be delivered through the provision of an open access 24/ 7 /365 managed clinical network. This will deliver a one stop service including both forensic examination and care delivered at named SARC locations, supported by referral pathways into local age appropriate services for support and follow-up care where these are needed. The intention is to commission a service that covers the West Midlands, West Mercia and Warwickshire police force areas, with the option to include Staffordshire at a later date. The Market Engagement Event will take place on 11th November 2015 in Birmingham city centre. Further details will be provided to delegates nearer the time of the event.
