## About this tender

NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board ("BSW ICB"), and Bath and North East Somerset Council, Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire Council (the "Local Authorities") are responsible for commissioning Health and Care Services including Public Health Services within their localities. References below to the "Commissioners" are to BSW ICB and the Local Authorities collectively.

Services are currently purchased from a range of providers including primary care, community and private providers, acute trusts, VCSEs or are delivered in-house at the Local Authority.

Commissioners are exploring their options on how to re-commission both Adult and Children's Community Services across their respective localities from 1st April 2024. Each Locality will make their own decision about the final model and procurement date, and these will be shared at the appropriate time.

The scope, value, process(es) and contract model(s) of the services to be implemented are yet to be determined, however, it is expected that each Locality (Banes, Swindon & Wiltshire) will be commissioning separately, and may include Adult community services, Children's community services, or both.

In line with the BSW Care Model, Commissioners are considering the needs of the population throughout all life stages and especially within the following three groupings:

â&#128;¢ Starting Well

o This area is seeking to provide children, young people, and families with support and care in the community, including Public Health Nursing, physical and emotional wellbeing, Community health and targeted support.

â&#128;¢ Living/Aging Well

o Supporting self-care and prevention, proactive care and support, responding to urgent needs, rehabilitation and recovery from ill health and/or crisis.

â&#128;¢ Dying Well

o Palliative and end of life care in all settings, bereavement support.

This PIN is not a formal call for competition and does not signal the launch of any formal procurement process but is being issued by the Commissioners as they are seeking to engage with suitably qualified providers to help inform and shape the next steps of this commissioning process. The Commissioners aims are:

â&#128;¢ Engage with providers

â&#128;¢ Understanding the interest from suitably qualified providers

â&#128;¢ Informing the commissioning process

â&#128;¢ Gathering information from stakeholders that may be used to shape a commissioning / procurement process

Suitably qualified providers are asked to register their interest by email to  ("Expression of Interest"). with a completed questionnaire attached to this notice. Registered interested parties will then be contacted by email with further information on the engagement process in due course. All Expressions of Interest must be submitted by no later than midday on 16 March 2023

Please be clear whether your expression of interest is in relation to Adult community services, Children's community services, or both

Additional information: The services that are the subject of this PIN ("services") fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") and are therefore not subject to the full application of the Regulations. Any future procurement of the services will instead only be governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77 and the other elements of the Regulations that apply specifically to Light Touch Regime services.

It is also likely that each locality will be advertising these opportunities separately at different times, although there is a possibility that some opportunities may be advertised together

This notice signals the intention to conduct an information gathering exercise only. This notice does not constitute a call for competition in its own right. Publication of this notice and any responses to it does not commit the Authority(ies) or respondents to undertaking or participating in any future procurement process, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The Authority(ies) will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this information exercise howsoever arising.
