This initiative falls under the planning stage and engages the health services industry, classified under the CPV code 85100000. A key milestone for this process is the market engagement end date, which is set for 26th June 2018 at 17:00. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses through the survey available on the CSU's e-tendering system before this deadline. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those focused on support services for dementia patients and their families. Companies that specialise in community health, social care, or therapeutic services would be well-positioned to participate in this procurement. The NHS is exploring the possibility of awarding the contract either as a single package or in lots, allowing for diverse approaches, including collaborations with subcontractors. Engaging in this process could significantly enhance business growth for those who align with the specifications outlined by the NHS, particularly in delivering innovative care and support solutions. ## Notice ***THIS ADVERT IS FOR A MARKET CONSULTATION QUESTIONNAIRE ONLY*** Birmingham and Solihull CCG and Sandwell & West Birmingham CCG are holding a market engagement event for a Dementia Navigator Service. The service will provide Dementia advisors and support workers for people suffering with Dementia across the Birmingham footprint of the participating CCGs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sandwell and Solihull areas will not be included in this procurement. The service will provide timely information, advice and support to individuals and their families, friends or carers throughout their journey with dementia, enabling them to live well as long as possible. This will include people who are worried about their memory, individuals newly diagnosed and those who have been living with dementia for some time but who could benefit from support. In addition to the Dementia Navigator Service, the CCGs will be looking to procure a Dementia Cafe service. Carers will usually attend Dementia and Activity Cafes as well as people with dementia and for many people with dementia and their carers they provide valuable social opportunities, access to specialist information and advice, and peer support as well as respite for carers. The CCG also require a Dementia Peer Support Group for Younger Onset patients to be provided. Following the market engagement event held on the 8th June, the CCG is now seeking to understand the market's views on how the procurement of the services mentioned above should, in the view of the market, be structured. The CCG is currently considering whether the service should be split into lots or if an approach should be adopted where all services are procured from the same service provider with that service provider being at liberty to appoint sub-contractors as they see fit to provide certain aspects of the service. With this in mind, the CCG is seeking responses to a survey which it has made available on the CSU's e-tendering system, Bravo. Providers should access the Bravo system, access PQQs available for open access and view PQQ_501. The specifications for the respective services as well as the slide packs from the recent market engagement events will also be available for providers to download from the portal. Please provide your response by 1700hrs on Tuesday 26th June. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0c4869f-0649-437b-9619-50f5d3b9ba50 | | 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 | 13 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Jun 2018 | | 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 | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS | | Locality | WEST BROMWICH | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B70 9LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG37 Sandwell | | Local authority | Sandwell | | Electoral ward | West Bromwich Central | | Westminster constituency | West Bromwich | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 13 Jun 2018 at 13:14 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0c4869f-0649-437b-9619-50f5d3b9ba50 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0c4869f-0649-437b-9619-50f5d3b9ba50 13th June 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
