## Summary

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board (ICB) is planning a procurement for a Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) Assessment Service, classified under Health and Social Work Services. This initiative, currently at the planning stage, is designed as a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) prior information notice and is not yet a call for competition. The service aims to provide a comprehensive, consultant-led multidisciplinary assessment for patients with PoTS within the Devon region (UKK4). Business entities interested in this opportunity must register their interest by 12:00 on Tuesday, 17th December 2024, with further procurement notices expected to be published by 31st January 2025.

This tender provides ample opportunity for specialised healthcare providers to expand their services and establish a robust, inclusive assessment service. Ideal candidates for this tender are those capable of delivering a consultant-led and multidisciplinary approach, with the infrastructure to support holistic evaluations encompassing physical, cognitive, and psychological aspects. Companies with expertise in patient-centred self-care and the capacity for referral to specialist community rehabilitation services stand to benefit significantly from participating in this procurement process. Data gathered from this phase will help inform the commissioners' strategy and next procurement steps.

## Notice

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of NHS Devon ICB's , (the Commissioner's), intention to commission a Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) Assessment Service. At this early stage, the Commissioner would like to understand the level of provider interest in delivering these services to help inform the development of their strategy for this service. The requirement is to provide a consultant-led, multidisciplinary assessment service for patients with PoTS that is robust, inclusive, safe and sustainable. The service will need to ensure timely and appropriate care in supporting patients with specialist assessment, diagnosis and self-management, with onward referral to specialist community rehabilitation services as required that are geographically appropriate to the patient and delivered by one of the existing organisations within Devon. The objectives of the service are to: * Offer a full holistic multidisciplinary assessment inclusive of physical, cognitive, and psychological reviews. * Provide a 'one stop shop' model of service which offers specialist assessment, diagnosis, and treatment with onward referral to rehabilitation services. * Recommend and refer people to services that meet the assessed needs of people. * Develop a personalised care plan with identified goals based on a shared decision-making process. * At all times to promote a culture of patient centred self-care supported by specialist expertise. The estimate budget and the likely term of contract is still under consideration by the Commissioner at this early stage. The Commissioner is looking for expressions of interest from providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver the requirement, as well as responses to some general market engagement questions. This information will be used by the Commissioner to inform their next steps. The deadline to register your interest is 12:00 Tuesday 17th December 2024. This exercise is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
