Tender description

The Integrated Commissioning Team, across Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Southend NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and Castle Point and Rochford NHS Clinical Commissioning Group, is considering options for the future commissioning of a 'Mental Health wellbeing, Recovery College and Peer Support Service' ('the Project'). As part of a wider engagement and consultation exercise we are inviting suitably qualified service providers to attend a Market Engagement Event the purpose of which is to inform the market of the intentions of the Integrated Commissioning Team for this provision across Southend, Castle Point and Rochford. The Commissioners are keen to receive market feedback, and would welcome provider views in relation to this service. The market engagement event will offer a further opportunity to engage with stakeholders and for prospective service providers to learn more about the services. The format of the event will be a Presentation from the Commissioners followed by a Q & A session. After the Presentation, the Integrated Commissioning Team will make available 20 minute 1-to-1 slots on a first come first served basis to answer more detailed questions and capture feedback. There will also be focused group work and networking opportunities throughout the afternoon. The information gathered will be used to inform the Commissioners' service model and future procurement plan. The closing date for registering attendance is 5pm on 22nd August 2018. Due to limitations of space, attendance is restricted to a maximum of 2 representatives per organisation.
