This procurement is classified under health and social work services, with a total estimated contract value of approximately £2.4 million per year, spanning five years, starting from 1st April 2018. The tender period will close on 8th August 2017, and the project includes distinct service delivery areas covering Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly. This opportunity presents significant prospects for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health services. Businesses capable of building strong stakeholder relationships and effectively managing health information systems will find this tender most suitable. Participating in this contract could lead to substantial business growth, particularly for those experienced in public sector contracts and the delivery of integrated health services. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU), on behalf of NHS England South (South West) (the Commissioner), is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to tender for delivery of a Child Health Information Service (CHIS) in the South West. The Commissioner is seeking a single provider to deliver one CHIS with two distinct service delivery footprints - one serving the population of Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Somerset and one serving the population of Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The development of strong stakeholder relationships within the two service delivery footprints is critical to the service. The annual contract value will be approximately PS2.4 million (exclusive of VAT and CQUIN) over a term of five years. There will be a staggered service delivery start, with the service within the Devon LA area starting on 1st April 2018 and the remainder of the service (across both service delivery footprints) starting on 1st July 2018.
