Local authorities are required under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, to commission a local Healthwatch service.

The purpose is to make sure that people know where to go to raise concerns and obtain information about health and social care services, that people's views and experiences are heard, improving scrutiny of health and social care services and helping local people to influence commissioning decisions. The Council invites suitably qualified service providers to attend a virtual market engagement event where it will present the vision for the new Healthwatch and to have a discussion with current and potential providers of this service.

Key topics for the day will be; - An introduction to London Borough Barking & Dagenham - The demographics of London Borough of Barking & Dagenham. - Current service provision - The new model - The 'ask' from providers and indicative budget - Procurement Process - Discussion & Questions This exercise is not part of any pre-qualification or selection process.
