This event is set to take place on 19th September 2018 from 09:30 to 14:30 in the West Midlands, England, and has an engagement end date of 18th September 2018. This initiative is part of the planning stage of the procurement process, aimed at gathering insights to shape service specifications and methodologies for future tenders within the health and social work services category. This tender represents an exciting opportunity for local businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with public sector commissioners and influence service provision in a critical area of care. Companies specialising in the provision of health services, community mental health support, and allied health professions would be particularly well-suited to participate in this event, facilitating growth through potential future contracts developed from the outcomes of this market engagement. ## Notice ***THIS NOTICE IS FOR A MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT AND MARKET ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE ONLY*** The West Midlands Transforming Care Programme Commissioning Collaborative, comprising Coventry & Rugby CCG, South Warwickshire CCG, Solihull CCG, Warwickshire North CCG, Birmingham and Solihull CCG, Walsall CCG, Dudley CCG, Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG, Wolverhampton CCG, South Worcestershire CCG, Wyre Forest CCG, Redditch & Bromsgrove CCG, Warwickshire County Council, Coventry City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Worcestershire County Council, Birmingham City Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Walsall Council and Wolverhampton Council are hosting a market engagement event to assist with their overall understanding of the market position for the provision of inpatient beds for people with complex learning disabilities and/or autism with behaviours that challenge. The event will equip providers in this sector with some information around commissioners' intended direction of travel in this area, with a view to commissioners moving to a position of further clarity once they have the benefit of the information garnered from this event. With this in mind, the Commissioners, will be looking to address a number of key areas with the help of insight from providers: * Shaping of the service specification.

A light lunch will be provided at the end of the event with the express purpose of providing the time and space for providers to network with Commissioners and each other.
