Descriptions

NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (MLCSU) is working on behalf of NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB). They are looking to identify a provider to develop a comprehensive partnership to support the learning disability and autism workforce. The service delivered will be expected to employ relevant staff who can coordinate and administer support. The staff will need to help deliver the Transforming Care Programme (TCP) in line with local health and social care commissioners (who have subscribed to this service). The ICB is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the following Services: Lot 1 - Transforming Care, Education & Treatment Review (CETR) Support A service which supports the Transforming Care, Education & Treatment Review (CETR) Process. The service will deliver on co production, support the CETR process & self-advocacy in relation to the Transforming Care agenda & provide the necessary governance & assurance that a high quality service is being delivered. Lot 2 - Training & Development to Support Transforming Care The training team will provide training & development to health & social care staff when requested & in line with the Transforming Care agenda & value of subscriptions. Training will be provided from a pre prepared schedule of work from new developments funded by subscribers. The provider will employ relevant staff to coordinate and administer the programme. The ICB would like to invite providers to express an interest in the services, by registering & completing a brief questionnaire on the Atamis e-sourcing portal. The deadline for EOIs is Wednesday 1st November 2023 16:00pm. The ICB would welcome the opportunity for potential providers to complete the EOI, so they are able to ascertain the current provider market. This information will inform & assist them in forming their commissioning intentions for both services with the potential to proceed to a formal procurement process. The ICB is only seeking EOIs from Providers who are genuinely capable & attracted to this potential opportunity. Only express an interest if you have the relevant authority to do so. If only one EOI is received, this may inform the lead commissioner that a procurement is not required & no further call for competition will be made. The lead commissioner may take the decision to directly award a contract (following due diligence) to a suitably qualified and competent provider based on the service specification detailed in this call for EOI. If a procurement tender process is conducted, full details of how to access the tender will be advertised in line with national requirements at that time & also be provided to any provider who has responded to this call for EOIs. Following a procurement process, any appointed provider would be contracted to deliver the service using the NHS Standard Contract 2023/24 & the contractual requirements would be provided as part of the tender process.
