Sexual abuse, sexualised behaviours and bereavement counselling services - Request for Information

Descriptions

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) (the Contracting Authority) who are conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise in order to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to deliver Sdeliver Sexual abuse and bereavement counselling services for children and young people (0-18yrs) and sexualised behaviours counselling for children and young people (0-16yrs) and who are residents within the Northumberland and North Tyneside locality.

It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published on Find and Tender Service and as applicable.

It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest.

NENC ICB is utilising an electronic tendering tool to manage this RFI exercise and communicate with potential providers. Accordingly, there will be no hard copy documents issued to potential providers and all communications with NENC ICB, including EOI submissions, will be conducted via Atamis:
