## About this tender

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of The NHS Commissioning Board operating as NHS England is carrying out a market engagement exercise for the Provision of Liaison & Diversion Service in Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire and Telford, Coventry and Warwickshire areas.

As part of the market engagement event the commissioners are giving providers who are interested and able to deliver the full liaison and diversion service, the opportunity for a 1:1 session. These will be for 30 minutes for which you will need to book.

The Liaison and Diversion service provision will cater for vulnerable individuals of all ages in the offender pathway and help to inform subsequent decisions, about where an individual is best placed to receive treatment, taking into account public safety, safety of the individual and punishment of the offence.

Details on the liaison and diversion service can be found here: [england.nhs.uk](https://www.england.nhs.uk/?s=liaison+and+diversion)

For this service provision, NHS England would like to encourage innovative solutions including strategic alliances which will deliver value for money and improved services to patients. The service provider(s) will be required to deliver an outcome based high quality and integrated L&D service, operating at various points of the criminal justice pathway including police custody, courts and community within the stated areas and across the Police Force footprint.

This service will be required to include Peer Support embedded into the operating model.

This service is expected to be fully operational by 1 April 2022.

The contract term for this procurement will be 3 years with an option to extend by 2 years (3 + 2 = 5) therefore 5 years in total.
