Expressions of interest for Integrated Healthcare Services at Clayfields Secure Children’s Unit and Lincolnshire Secure Children’s Unit.

Tender description

Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, acting on behalf of NHS England (North Midlands) (i.e. the Commissioner) invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced providers to provide Integrated Healthcare Services (IHS) to the children and young people residing within Clayfields House and Lincolnshire Secure Unit. NHS England will be the contracting and commissioning authority for IHS. Since the service provision requirements at both units are similar and share common service specification, performance framework and service objectives it is the intention of the commissioners to procurement the services at the same time. Lot 1: The service provision will cater for all children and young people who reside within the Units and fulfil their regular healthcare needs. The current healthcare contracts will end on the 30th September 2022 and as a result the successful providers are expected to be fully operational, providing services from the 1st October 2022. The service providers will be required to deliver an outcome based high quality integrated healthcare service to include provision of the following services and coordination amongst them: General Practice, Nursing, Mental Health, Substance Misuse (clinical and psychological), Health Promotion and Sexual Health. The Commissioner encourages innovation and use of technology within service delivery. They are seeking patient centred solutions for the provision of this service with the following aims: • Deliver a high-quality care which is flexible and meets the varying patient needs within both units • Find a provider who can work effectively and in partnership with the Secure Units within a secure setting • Establish contracts for services that have been market tested to represent best clinical quality. NHS England is seeking expressions of interest from providers who may be interested in tendering for the service. Please note that an expression of interest in this questionnaire will not automatically entitle Providers to any involvement in any future procurement exercise. Any procurement conducted as a result of this event will be advertised separately and all Providers wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement as and when it may be published. Due to forthcoming national changes, NHS England are currently unable to give details on the contract length.
