The service will need to be implemented as soon as is practically possible ( Sept / early Oct ) and cover the Birmingham and West Midlands area.

The expectation is to see circa 8-10 patients within a session/cohort with the potential for circa 600 patients to be part of any outsourcing service with sessions delivered physically in person or via video or a combination of both An outline of an expected/potential programme being: Weekly sessions by a MDT clinician e.g. - OT/Dietician/Psychologist/Respiratory Physiotherapist ( the service is currently being delivered using remote sessions ) Programme outline : ### Week 1- Understanding Fatigue Week 2- Thinking about activity ### Week 3- Activity grading Week 4- Fatigue and exercise (Physiotherapy led) Week 5- Diet and nutrition (Dietitian led) ### Week 6- Sleep Hygiene Week 7- Cognition and Mindfulness ### Week 8- Reflect and evaluation If this is a service you are able seriously a contender to potentially provide either in its entirety or in part please confirm to the following information by 3.9.21 - Supplier name , address and key contact details - Previous experience in this field and those organisations within which it was undertaken - Potential mobilisation period and session format - Potential throughput of patients up until 31.3.22 based on the above figures Read full description ## CPV classification Services provided by medical personnel Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/5a5c0131-23a7-4f32-8f86-50ef4abe7ccc) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
