NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board ("ICB") is considering going out to formal procurement for the delivery of a Community Wellbeing Service. Providers who are interested in delivering these services are invited to express interest by completing a questionnaire. The information you provide will be used to inform the next steps of the commissioning process.
Commissioners are looking to establish what interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified, capable and competent organisations and/or partnerships and any barriers that may exist in providing these services.
The Community Wellbeing Service is a key offer for our children and young people (CYP) in Somerset, ensuring that CYP and their families can access early support at the right time and in the right place. The service is designed to enhance the mental, emotional and overall wellbeing of individuals. It provides early intervention and aims to foster positive family dynamics. By collaborating with various stakeholders and advocating for the rights of young individuals, this service strives to create a nurturing and inclusive environment, ultimately contributing to the overall thriving of the community.
The Community Wellbeing Service aims to promote the overall mental and emotional health of children and young people within a community, with other aims including:
•	Early intervention and prevention - identifying and addressing issues early to prevent them from escalating to more serious problems
•	Promoting mental health - providing resources and support to enhance emotional wellbeing
•	Supporting families - offering and guidance to families to support their children and young people
•	Social inclusion - encouraging participation in community activities, promoting a sense of belonging and reducing isolation
•	Safety and protection - safeguarding children from harm
•	Advocacy and empowerment - empowering children and young people to voice their needs and concerns
•	Collaboration and networking - building partnerships with other VCSE services, healthcare providers and education settings to create a holistic support network
•	Health inequalities - recognising and respecting the diverse backgrounds and cultures of the CYP and families they support
•	Outcome measurement and evaluation - monitoring the assessing the impact of their services to ensure they are meeting the needs of children, young people and families
The desired and expected outcomes include:
•	Improved mental health and wellbeing - a reduction on symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges leading to improved quality of life for them and their families and carers
•	Enhanced emotional regulation - CYP may develop better coping skills and emotional resilience and CYP feel better equipped and supported to look after their own mental health
•	A more positive experience for CYP and parents and carers with improved knowledge and confidence in dealing with mental health issues
•	Increased / improved school attendance, engagement and performance due to the support provided
•	Strengthened family relationships - better communication understanding and support within families, leading to a more stable home environment
•	Improved social skills and relationships - better peer relationships, increased social confidence and a sense of belonging within the community
•	Enhanced coping mechanisms - leading to a reduction in mental health problems extending into adulthood, thus a reduction in the associated financial costs of mental health and social care across the lifespan
•	Reduction in inappropriate referrals to specialist Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
•	Delivery of a less stigmatised alternative to clinically orientated mental health support services
•	Increased access - CYP being seen at the right time, with the right support by the right person
•	Increased confidence and satisfaction rates for primary care, education settings and families
The Community Wellbeing Service will provide Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) interventions to those aged 5-18 in Somerset via CYP-IAPT trained Children's Community Wellbeing Practitioners. The Service will provide early intervention support for young people experiencing low-level mental health issues, including but not limited to: anger difficulties, anxiety, depression, self-injury, stress, simple phobias (but not related to blood, needle, vomit), mild social anxiety, sleep problems and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The service will never turn away any young person who is asking for help and will engage them with the service or assist them to get the help they need elsewhere. The provider is also expected to offer self-referral for children and young people.
The five CYP-IAPT principles include:
•	Participation - This not only includes CYP, parents and carers having active participation in personal care, but at all levels of service provision, including service development, recruitment and service review.
•	Accessibility - actively improving the awareness of CYPs emotional wellbeing, reducing stigma and improving access to services for support in a number of ways including:
o	More community support
o	Raising awareness through wider communication strategies
o	Integrating Requests for support made through self-referral routes parent / carer or professional where possible
o	Making services more efficient to avoid long waiting lists
o	Actively participating with young people to improve the locations and access where people are seen for support
•	Awareness - increasing public understanding of the importance of emotional wellbeing and decreasing stigma and discrimination
•	Accountability - ensuring services are accessing young people's views on the support they are receiving
•	Evidence-based interventions - the use of interventions that have been demonstrated to have clinical effectiveness in reducing symptoms, including interventions recommended by NICE.
The service will offer face to face, virtual and group interventions for children, young people, their parents and carers. The provider will be expected to work in partnership with the following interdependencies:
•	Mental Health Support Teams in Schools (MHSTs) - for those schools that do not have access to a MHST, the Community Wellbeing Service will be expected to offer support
•	Somerset NHS Foundation Trust:
o	NHS CAMHS Early Intervention Services, specialist CAMHS, Community Eating Disorder Service, Enhanced Outreach and Psychiatric Liaison
o	Emergency Departments
o	Paediatrics
•	Primary Care
•	Education Settings
•	Children's Social Care
•	Youth Work Services
•	VCSE organisations / sector
•	Somerset Parent Carer Forum
•	Children and Young People's Neurodevelopmental Pathway
•	CYP Engagement Services
•	Local Authority
•	Public Health
•	Educational Psychology Services
The provider will be expected to promote their service within the referral portal that is currently in development with CAMHS and Young Somerset. The aims of the portal are to streamline referrals into mental health services, reduce waiting times and ensuring children, young people and their families receive appropriate support in a timely manner.
The Provider will offer different and innovative ways to engage with young people. This will include early intervention support group work and workshops, 1-2-1's, drop-ins, and virtual settings. CYP will need to have access to an appropriate, safe and calm environment; this should be a neutral room with no stigma attached.
The Provider will assess needs, deliver support and / or may refer on those young people whose needs would be better served by another local agency. This may include a step down to school-based pastoral support or an escalation to a specialist service e.g., social care or specialist CAMHS.
Somerset ICB has a current contract in place that is due to expire 31st March 2024. As part of its overall strategic approach to formally competitively re-commission this service, Somerset ICB intends to extend the current provision with Young Somerset for a period of 6 months to allow sufficient time to consider and act upon its commissioning options.
The contract value is circa £750,000 per annum. It is anticipated that the contract duration will be for an initial period of 5 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years.  Maximum contract duration 7 years.
Any values and timescales stated within this PIN notice are for guideline purposes only and should not be taken as a guarantee.
Expressions of interest and completed questionnaires must be submitted by 12 noon, 27th November.
Interested providers will be able to view this opportunity via the live opportunities list on the 'Health Family' e-procurement system, Atamis, and once registered will be able to view
the full scope of the service in a draft service specification.  Click on 'View our Live Opportunities' from the home page, available on the following link: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome.
This process is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner(s). 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).

NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board ("ICB") are considering its commissioning options for the delivery of a Community Wellbeing Programme Service. Providers who are interested in delivering these services are invited to express interest by completing a questionnaire. The information you provide will be used to inform the next steps of the commissioning process.
Commissioners are looking to establish what interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified, capable and competent organisations and/or partnerships and any barriers that may exist in providing these services.
In Somerset, our vision is for children and young people's mental health and emotional wellbeing to flourish and for each young person to be happy, connected and prepared for adulthood. Every young person who needs help in relation to their mental health will know how to access that help and will be able to do so easily and swiftly with mental health services being responsive, person-centred and of the highest quality possible.
Across Somerset, there is a higher than average prevalence of children and young people (CYP) who are presenting with mental health and emotional wellbeing difficulties. Through talking to CYP themselves, partners across education, health and care and parents, we know that one of the key root causes of these mental health presentations is the lack of consistent wellbeing support and early interventions for our young people. Therefore, CYP mental health and emotional wellbeing is one of our main system priorities, strengthening health promotion, prevention and early intervention through to effective targeted support.
We know there has been a concerning rise in rates of mental illness and distress amongst CYP, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which caused interruptions to education and home life. This has been reflected nationally:
•	In 2022, 18% of children aged 7 to 16 years and 22% of young people aged 17 to 24 years had a probable mental disorder
•	In children aged 7 to 16 years, rates rose from 1 in 9 in 2017 to 1 in 6 in 2020
•	In young people aged 17 to 19 years, rates of a probable mental disorder rose from 1 in 10 in 2017 to 1 in 6 in 2020
The NHS Ten Year, Long Term Plan (2019) also makes specific reference and commitment to improving the access, quality and delivery of mental health services, with a focus on improving outcomes for CYP and their families. There are key focus points including prevention, early intervention and working with the community through a personalised service, which further aligns with the Somerset's Integrated Health and Care Strategy and associated Joint Forward Plan.
Somerset recognises the pivotal roles that universal, community and specialist services play in raising awareness of mental health and emotional wellbeing, identifying problems, supporting and providing interventions to support CYP. The Community Wellbeing Service is a key offer for our CYP in Somerset, ensuring that CYP and their families can access early support at the right time and in the right place.

As indicated in the description above the Trust are looking at the potential for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy to benefit patients of UCLH. It is likely that the infrastructure requirements of any potential solution will be the largest factor in determining whether this project is viable.

This PIN is aiming to identify potential suppliers of this technology who we can liaise with to identify the construction nuances which will have to be considered both in the feasibility study stage and during any initial design stages.  Further competition will be completed at a later stage if a viable option emerges.

Once potential suppliers have been identified following this process it is likely that our construction teams will be in touch to request more specific information. Additional information: The financial envelope open to the Trust is also unknown at this stage. We would also be looking for feedback from suppliers as to indicative costs of their proposals which would also feed into any feasibility study.    With this technology being very new to market we are unable to estimate the cost of this requirement at this stage.

title: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

description:
Through collaboration with University College London the potential for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy to provide a benefit to the patients of University College London Hospital has been identified. The Trust is therefore exploring the possibility of installing this novel technology on our estate with the intention of developing clinical trials to evaluate the effectiveness of Neutron Boron Capture Therapy - we hope this would lead to the development of new cancer treatments for patients.

To progress this the Trust are looking to identify potential suppliers who can provide further information on the capability of the equipment, its functionality and operability. Several potential sites are being reviewed with their suitability depending on the infrastructure requirements of the proposed solution - size, access and power are of particular concern.  Collating this information shall enable UCLH to determine the viability of the project from both a technical and financial perspective.

If deemed viable then UCLH will be seeking a collaborative arrangement with a supplier to design, install and maintain the equipment. Furthermore, we would look for enhanced training for our staff and ongoing engagement with a supplier to aid further research and development of treatment possibilities for patients.

The equipment will be used initially to offer treatment access, within the context of a clinical trial, to patients with relapsed brain tumours and relapsed head and neck cancers using current, approved boron agents - The Trust are therefore looking for equipment which has a history of patient use. In parallel we intend to explore new indications and new pharmaceuticals in trial in partnership with University College London. Additional research will study drug uptake and monitoring.

To our knowledge this would create the only service in the UK able to offer this treatment. The estimated capacity when fully operational could be ~2000 patients per year.

Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
This informed decision based on; the ongoing insurance marketplace uncertainty reflective of the post-Brexit economic environment, the far-reaching impact of the war in Ukraine, recent challenges faced by RSL’s relating to all services, and the current cost-of-living pressures; while concurrently seeking to ensure effective continuity of our insurance services to meet our statutory regulatory requirements.

description:
This Modification Notice relates to the extension of the existing Insurance Provision contract. Having sought advice, to meet our statutory regulatory requirements as a Registered Social Landlord, these public contracts shall be modified and awarded under Regulation 72 (1) (c) utilising the Modification of contracts during their term “by circumstances Prospect Community Housing (PCH) could not have foreseen”.
The insurance market for social housing providers has always been quite restricted, however in the field of property and liability this has hardened severely and quickly since the start of 2023. This has been accelerated by the departure of two main insurance providers to the Sector, meaning the already limited capacity is much reduced. This has resulted in unsustainable market conditions, and we have seen insurers react this year applying significant rate increases on Renewals during 2023.
PCH intend to go out to the marketplace for a new contract for Insurance Provision and this procurement process will commence 2026 Q1 with a target effective date contract date of 1st October 2026.

NHS Devon ICB has successfully run the Safe Bus in Plymouth City and Torquay Town center to support people and providers within the nighttime economy, with the aim of reducing ambulance and Emergency Department (ED) attendances.
To support the continued pressure on the health system and to support the nighttime economy the service is commissioned to operate 2200-0400 during nights of high footfall to ensure maximum impact.

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The public sector body experienced unforeseen delay in governance, which prohibited their ability to deliver in time for the expiry of this Framework Lot. They are unable to wait until the release of the subsequent CCS Framework available in November, as their current contract will have expired.

description:
Notice of the Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) extension to the expiry date for Lot 3 of Technology Products and Associated Services (RM6068) framework from 9 December 2023 to 30 April 2024.
No other changes will be made to the Framework.
CCS’ view is that this modification to the Framework term for Lot 3 is permitted pursuant to
Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. While CCS is not required to
publish this notice it does so to be transparent.
As set out below, this is a non-substantial modification under Regulation 72(1)(e), but, in the
event that this modification is deemed not to be a modification under the PCR, then this
notice should be treated as providing the requisite notice of a contract award.
Regulation 72(1)(e) provides a modification is permitted where irrespective of value it is not
substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8).
Regulation 72(8) provides a modification will be considered substantial if any one or more of
the following conditions is met:
(a) the modification renders the framework materially different in character from the one
initially concluded;
(b) the modification introduces conditions which, had they been part of the initial
procurement procedure, would have—
(i) allowed for the admission of other candidates than those initially selected,
(ii) allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted, or
(iii) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure;
(c) the modification changes the economic balance of the framework in favour of the
contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the framework;
(d) the modification extends the scope of the framework considerably;
(e) a new contractor replaces the original contractor in cases other than those provided for in
paragraph (1)(d).
CCS’ view is that the increase is not a substantial variation because the:
● framework will not be materially different in character from the one originally
concluded;
● increase would not have allowed for a different tender to be accepted or attracted
additional bidders;
● increase does not change the economic balance of the Framework in favour of the
supplier(s); and
● increase does not extend the scope of the Framework considerably.

title: Insites Data Platform - Mini Tender via DPS ESC23239

description:
The mission of Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) is to support the UK government and industry in transforming the energy sector to deliver on the promise of net zero carbon by 2050. A critical challenge is reducing the carbon from non-domestic energy use.
Through work on Modern Energy Partners (MEP), and other projects, Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) believe that data could hold the key to addressing challenges faced by non-domestic sites seeking to decarbonise. Without real data, site operators have little confidence on the potential saving that a prospective site decarbonisation project could make. For projects that are carried out, there is still difficulty in understanding and demonstrating what benefit has been delivered or how this compares to similar sites.
To address this need, ESC is developing the InSite proposition. At the heart of this proposition, is the InSite data platform which will collect, aggregate, and process data from non-domestic sites to support policy makers, innovators, and investors. ESC has been granted funding to develop a data platform that will gather energy and other contextual data from a range of sources, process it and provide outputs that allow building and decarbonisation intervention archetypes to be mapped, benchmarks developed, and the typical performance of energy assets understood. It is proposed that this will be based on a mixture of static and live feeds of data, offering insights to changes in energy consumption.
