## Summary

NHS England is set to procure talking therapies services for children, young people, and adults who have experienced trauma in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Hertfordshire. This planned procurement will be managed by the NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit. The contract period is from 1st April 2019 to 31st March 2021, with a total budget of £700,000 allocated for this initiative. The procurement follows the Light Touch Regime method and is currently in the planning stage, with a communication notice due on 8th October 2018.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those providing trauma-focused therapeutic support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage with this procurement process, as the need for specialized services in the identified regions presents a competitive landscape for providers capable of delivering high-quality talking therapies.

## Notice

NHS England wishes to advise potential bidders of its intention to procure providers of talking therapies service for children, young people and adults who have experienced trauma, including sexual trauma, in Norfolk, Suffolk and Hertfordshire. It is recognised that people who have experienced trauma have better health outcomes if they can access a course of talking therapy to enable them to reduce their anxiety and distress and to help them to form relationships of trust in future. Specific services responding to trauma are not extensively available in these counties and NHS England is shortly to offer the opportunity to provide these services for a two year period. There will be 3 lots - one for Norfolk, one for Suffolk and 1 for Herts
