NHSE539 Clinical Dental Referral Management Service (CDRMS) Request for Information ( RFI)  NHS England - North East and Yorkshire Region
North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS England - North East and Yorkshire Region (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 a Clinical Dental Referral Management Service (CDRMS).
The aim of the CDRMS is to manage referrals for dental services across Yorkshire and the Humber, including non-elective referrals (as agreed with the Provider of the CDRMS) and those referrals where the General Dental Practitioner (GDP) suspects a malignancy.
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request expansion of this service in the future to encompass and include other dental referral pathways. The Contracting Authority accepts that any future expansion would be subject to negotiation, however, the successful CDRMS Provider must be able to demonstrate that their systems and processes are capable of expansion, e.g., to manage referrals for additional specialties, and demonstrate that they can support improved local access, an overall improved experience for the patient and value for money.
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 a Tender Service and Contracts Finder.
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 a pre-qualification questionnaire, and 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 in the RFI exercise.
NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to access and return the RFI documentation.
It is free to register on the portal, which can be accessed at any time of day.

SNEE ICB wish to scope interest in a community based direct access, high specification endoscopy service, within the Ipswich & East Suffolk locality, with the potential to expand across the ICB footprint.
Activity will be paid on a cost and volume basis.
The service will include gastroscopy, transnasal endoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy.  The service will meet the 6-week diagnostic pathway target and add local capacity to meet current and future demand.
The community-based endoscopy service will:
•Continue to offer as a minimum the existing community endoscopy capacity with the ability to expand if and when the catchment area is expanded.
•Develop Governance links with local hospitals, namely East Suffolk and North Essex NHS FT and West Suffolk NHS FT
•Maintain existing pathways for managing patients.
•Have agreed pathways to secondary care that will be put in place by providers prior to the service starting.
•Have excellent relationships with primary care and ensure a smooth referral process is maintained.
•Be JAG compliant at the outset and maintain this through the life of the contract.
•Not destabilise the numbers needed to be seen in secondary care which are required to maintain JAG accreditation for screening.
Activity Volumes
Indicative activity is approximately 5400 referrals over a 12 -month period with an average of 450 referrals per month.
f you are interested in this opportunity, please express an interest on https://in-tendhost.co.uk/snee-icb/aspx/Home.

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice in order to facilitate engagement with potential providers.
The NHS England (NHSE) Health & Justice team in the South West seeks to determine the level of interest in the provision of non-custodial healthcare services across the South West region. NHSE are in the early stages of engagement and would like to offer potential providers and stakeholders an opportunity to help inform the scope and recommissioning strategy of these services. A series of early market engagement events will be taking place across the region in April and May 2023.
The areas covered within the South West include:
-	Avon and Somerset
-	Swindon and Wiltshire
-	Gloucestershire
-	Dorset
-	Devon and Cornwall
Commissioners are giving consideration to aligning and/or integrating the following non-custodial services (once current contracts expire):
-	Liaison and Diversion services
-	RECONNECT services; (a care after custody service that seeks to improve the continuity of care of vulnerable people leaving prison)
-	Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs)
-	Court Healthcare (aligning MoJ services through partnerships)
Alignment of regional non-custodial contracts would provide an opportunity to drive an innovative way of working with all stakeholders to deliver an integrated non-custodial healthcare service for each of the five Offices of Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) footprints. It would allow consistency in patient outcomes and quality standards whilst providing the correct pathway to the individual demographic in the South West. The key aims and outcomes include:
-	Supporting the delivery of whole-system healthcare for patients in the (non-custodial) Criminal Justice System
-	Aligning healthcare services to deliver a joined-up pathway in its entirety
-	Ensuring that non-custodial healthcare is commissioned in a way that supports continuous improvement and innovation
-	Driving self-management and ownership of health to help individuals develop the knowledge, confidence and skills they need to make the best decisions and actions for themselves
-	Ensuring effective stakeholder networks and engagement to capture all views from service users, including OPPCs, Probation, community providers, local authorities, ICB networks
-	Recommissioning across pathways (e.g. mental health treatment requirements; RECONNECT) to deliver seamless care from custody diversion through to release back into the community
-	Reducing reoffending at a regional level, ensuring continuity of care
-	Consistency in range, quality, accessibility and acceptability with that available to the wider community, in order to achieve equitable health outcomes and to reduce health inequalities between people in the criminal justice system and in the wider community
It is anticipated that new services will commence 01 April 2025.
This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice and relates only to a pre-procurement market engagement exercise.
As part of Community Mental Health Transformation, Cornwall Partnership Trust (CFT) are seeking to commission a minimum of 15 whole time equivalent (WTE) mental health community navigators. It is expected that there will be a minimum of one WTE per Primary Care Network (PCN) across the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly integrated care system.
Mental health community navigators will work alongside clinicians at the initial point of contact in mental health services. They will offer advice, guidance and support for clients, enabling them to access appropriate services within their local communities and support them to manage their condition using recovery focused tools and interventions. All support offered to users will be tailored to their individual needs and be place based, (i.e. in the context of Integrated Care Systems, aligned to local authorities and patient flows of acute and primary care).
The aim is to develop the mental health community navigator role for people with mental health needs, including those with a severe mental illness, who can often be marginalised and feel excluded and detached from the community in which they live.
The navigators will:
•	Be part of a core Primary Care MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team), working with other professionals and representatives from other agencies to agree the best approach for complex patients.
•	Offer early, holistic support for people with SMI (Severe Mental Illness), by using an asset-based approach with a role for all sections of the community, not just primary and secondary care services.
•	Contribute to removal of traditional barriers, for example between primary and secondary care, social care/ health care/ housing services, and health care.
•	Support people to access care closer to home.
•	Navigate and signpost individuals to employment & vocation, housing, substance, self-harm support as well as to other community assets.
•	Work closely with PCN mental health practitioners to support movement towards personal goals or access to other services, with a recovery focus. This may include motivational interviewing, solution focused approaches, emotion regulation, psychoeducation.
•	Facilitate equity of access for all of our populations, with a particular focus on 18-25year olds and older adults.
•	Contribute to improved access to physical health checks and interventions.
•	Offer and support individuals aged 18+ to access opportunities for rehabilitation, social, education, leisure, employment, community skills and recovery programmes.
The contract is likely to commence in August 2023 and be for an initial term of 1 year, with a further two extension options of 1 year + 1 year. The maximum annual contract value is anticipated to be in the region of £700,000.  It is anticipated that a procurement exercise will be undertaken, with the opportunity likely to be advertised in May 2023.
The Commissioner will be holding a market engagement/briefing event in late April 2023.
This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.

description:
NHSE South West (The Commissioner) sought to re-commission a Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (DESP) to deliver screening to the eligible population of Cornwall and Isles of Scilly (Lot 1). Adverts were placed on Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service and an Invitation to Tender (ITT) process, based on the Open procedure, was undertaken during summer / autumn 2023 to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender and therefore determine the incoming provider.
The eligible population includes patients over the age of 12 diagnosed with diabetes and registered with, or eligible to be registered with, a GP in the lot area as well as individuals within prisons, secure units and the armed forces.
The aim of the DESP is to reduce the risk of sight loss amongst people with diabetes by the prompt identification and effective treatment, if necessary, of sight threatening diabetic retinopathy.
This will be achieved by delivering an evidence-based service that:
•	Identifies the eligible population and ensures effective delivery with maximum coverage
•	Is safe, effective, high quality, externally and independently monitored, and quality assured
•	Leads to earlier detection, appropriate referral, effective treatment and improved outcomes
•	Is delivered and supported by suitably trained, competent and qualified clinical and non-clinical staff who, where relevant, participate in recognised ongoing continuing medical education (CME), continuous professional development (CPD) and quality assurance (QA) schemes
•	Has audit embedded in the service
•	Works effectively with other stakeholders to ensure the care pathway is smooth and efficient
There are 3 key elements of service delivery, namely:
•	Call/recall for all people with diabetes invited for routine digital screening; this is currently undertaken on an annual basis, but screening intervals are likely to extend to 2 years for people at low risk during the contract term, in line with national guidance
•	Digital surveillance where individuals need more frequent screening
•	Slit lamp bio-microscopy (SLB) for those individuals where normal photography is inappropriate (e.g. those having cataracts).
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) does not form part of this Contract at this time, though this position may change over the life of the contract in line with national guidance.
The Contract has been awarded to Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust for a term of 6 years, with an option to extend for a further 3 years at the sole discretion of the Commissioner.
The Contract is due to commence on 1st April 2024.
The 9 year estimated contract value, based on predicted activity levels, is £9,663,708.
The Contract will operate on a hybrid basis with a fixed "block" element based upon the actual activity for routine screening in 2021/2022 plus a variable element for digital surveillance and SLB and a further variable element to incentivise uptake to 85%. Variable elements will be paid according to activity undertaken.
The Commissioner's ambition through the financial model is to encourage uptake of DESP to achieve or exceed the national achievable target of 85% uptake in routine screening (DE1).
The Services have been commissioned using the national service specification for DESP Services, localised where appropriate.
National changes to screening frequency for low risk individuals are expected to be implemented during the contract term which will have an impact on activity. The subsequent impact on contract values will be agreed between the Provider and the Commissioner via contract variation.
This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).

The Contract will operate on a hybrid basis with a fixed "block" element based upon the actual activity for routine screening in 2021/2022 plus a variable element for digital surveillance and SLB and a further variable element to incentivise uptake to 85%. Variable elements will be paid according to activity undertaken.
The Commissioner's ambition through the financial model is to encourage uptake of DESP to achieve or exceed the national achievable target of 85% uptake in routine screening (DE1).
The Services have been commissioned using the national service specification for DESP Services, localised where appropriate.
National changes to screening frequency for low risk individuals are expected to be implemented during the contract term which will have an impact on activity. The subsequent impact on contract values will be agreed between the Provider and the Commissioner via contract variation.
This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).

NHSE South West (The Commissioner) sought to re-commission a Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (DESP) to deliver screening to the eligible population of Somerset (Lot 3). Adverts were placed on Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service and an Invitation to Tender (ITT) process, based on the Open procedure, was undertaken during summer / autumn 2023 to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender and therefore determine the incoming provider.
The eligible population includes patients over the age of 12 diagnosed with diabetes and registered with, or eligible to be registered with, a GP in the lot area as well as individuals within prisons, secure units and the armed forces.
The aim of the DESP is to reduce the risk of sight loss amongst people with diabetes by the prompt identification and effective treatment, if necessary, of sight threatening diabetic retinopathy.
This will be achieved by delivering an evidence-based service that:
•	Identifies the eligible population and ensures effective delivery with maximum coverage
•	Is safe, effective, high quality, externally and independently monitored, and quality assured
•	Leads to earlier detection, appropriate referral, effective treatment and improved outcomes
•	Is delivered and supported by suitably trained, competent and qualified clinical and non-clinical staff who, where relevant, participate in recognised ongoing continuing medical education (CME), continuous professional development (CPD) and quality assurance (QA) schemes
•	Has audit embedded in the service
•	Works effectively with other stakeholders to ensure the care pathway is smooth and efficient
There are 3 key elements of service delivery, namely:
•	Call/recall for all people with diabetes invited for routine digital screening; this is currently undertaken on an annual basis, but screening intervals are likely to extend to 2 years for people at low risk during the contract term, in line with national guidance
•	Digital surveillance where individuals need more frequent screening
•	Slit lamp bio-microscopy (SLB) for those individuals where normal photography is inappropriate (e.g. those having cataracts).
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) does not form part of this Contract at this time, though this position may change over the life of the contract in line with national guidance.
The Contract has been awarded to Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for a term of 6 years, with an option to extend for a further 3 years at the sole discretion of the Commissioner.
The Contract is due to commence on 1st April 2024.
The 9 year estimated contract value, based on predicted activity levels, is £13,741,086.

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market that NHS England (NHSE) South East (the Commissioner) intends to commission specialist maternity care services for patients diagnosed with Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS). Please note: this has previously been referred to as Abnormally Invasive Placenta (AIP) and is referenced as AIP within the national specification, but will be referenced as PAS throughout any further published documentation.
The Commissioner would like to understand the level of provider interest in delivering these services, to help identify any existing or potential capacity and to inform the procurement strategy and contracting options.
Consideration is being given to procuring a number of separate contracts, subject to the outcome of market and stakeholder engagement. This may result in a multi-lotted procurement process.
NHS England commissions specialist maternity care services for women suspected of, and diagnosed with, PAS from PAS Centres. These services include specialist prenatal diagnosis and risk assessment and definitive treatment of PAS by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) with expertise in complex pelvic surgery.
PAS Centres provide specialised treatment as part of a regional network arrangement with local maternity services, in accordance with predefined referral guidelines and protocols. PAS Centres have:
• Antenatal imaging (foetal medicine or radiology)
• Adult intensive care
• Level three neonatal intensive care services
• Immediate access to blood products.
The aims of the service are to:
• Accurately diagnose PAS and determine the clinical risk it poses
• Maximise safety for the mother by providing high quality specialised multidisciplinary care for the delivery of women at high risk of PAS.
This will be achieved by delivering an evidence-based service that:
• Prevents avoidable deaths in a population at very high risk of mortality
• Minimises ITU admission and length of stay in ITU
• Reduces blood product administration
• Reduces the risk of severe maternal morbidity such as cardiac arrest, fistula formation and lower urinary tract trauma
• Reduces risk of unnecessary surgical procedures including vertical abdominal incision and hysterectomy
• Reduces the risk of iatrogenic injury to women from false positive diagnoses
• Improves safety for the baby by minimising iatrogenic premature delivery
• Ensures that the quality of the care provided is nationally monitored and subject to a process of continued improvement
• Participate in national data collection to improve understanding.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please register on the e-procurement system, Atamis (details at the end of this notice), by 24th May 2023. A copy of the national service specification can also be found on the Atamis portal.
This exercise is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner(s).

Our Context:
The Brighton & Hove commissioning strategy is to reduce the number of people being placed in residential care, placed out of the city and in long term services that do not meet their needs. Supported Living and Community Support are effective in meeting this goal. The Council is committed to working collaboratively with providers to develop a high-quality provision that contributes to improved outcomes for our residents. Through the new commission, BHCC aims to:
•	Continue to work with providers with existing placements and transition them to the new service specification and terms and conditions to ensure alignment with the new DPS to be let later in 2023
•	Attract new providers to the market and create a more diverse market that provides more choice for people.
•	Ensure a strengths-based approach that focus on outcomes for people who receive support.
•	Enable the Council to meet the care and support needs of residents who have been assessed as having eligible social care needs in line with the Care Act 2014
These services are listed under Schedule 3 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and any subsequent competition will be undertaken in accordance with the "Light Touch Regime". Additional information: Potential and existing providers wishing to attend should reply via eventbrite: (link below) by 10am Friday 12th May 2023.
