New The Provision for Community Healthcare Services

Tender description

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST The Council currently has multiple contracts to deliver Public Health services. The Council is now seeking an innovative alternative solution using an outcomes based approach to deliver a coherent offer for local people and wants to explore integrated ways of really delivering services differently, putting Public Health and Community Prevention and Support Services at the heart of Hillingdon. The Council wants to develop community resilience and self management supported by a truly joined up approach to earlier identification of need. We are looking to understand how integration of service delivery will maximise capacity, extend community reach and take a co-ordinated approach to community assets. The Council is looking for a provider that can truly innovate and align all the services in scope around the individual, improving the quality of life for all residents with meaningful outcomes. The services will enhance residents' health and well-being, and will likely include the following programmes: a health child programme (0-19); smoking cessation service; substance misuse service; integrated sexual and reproductive health services; lifestyle weight management; children's integrated therapies; and multi agency psychological service. These services are not exclusive. The Council is interested in understanding synergies across a range of child, family and community services, and is keen to see evidence of potential providers' track records of successful delivery models. The Council is now looking for interested service providers to participate in a market engagement exercise, and to assist the Council in developing the specification of the new contract ahead of the procurement. Interested service providers should contact Sarah Read-O'Toole, email address: srotoole@hillingdon.gov.uk to express an interest in participating in the market engagement exercise.
