## About this tender

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to seek expressions of interest from organisations interested in delivering the Children and Young Person's Framework for Integrated Care (FfIC) Community Services in the Thames Valley area on behalf of NHS England Health & Justice South East (the commissioner).

The Children and Young Person's Framework for Integrated Care demonstrates NHSE's commitment to invest in additional support for the most vulnerable Children and Young People (CYP) who have complex needs and can be described as presenting with high risk, high harm behaviours and high vulnerability. The intention is to support and strengthen community services for these CYP whose complex needs are currently not being met.

The service is to be delivered in three areas of the Thames Valley region (Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire) and needs to consist of:

â&#128;¢ A service that offers a clinical screening, assessment and professional consultancy resource to other teams and practitioners (e.g. social care, education, youth offending teams (YOTs)) in the area regarding referrals of vulnerable children with complex needs at risk of contact with the criminal justice system. The service will also advise teams and services on onward referrals of children to other appropriate services in the area.

â&#128;¢ A youth worker service, providing ongoing face to face support to a small caseload of children and young people with complex needs referred by the screening and assessment service

The service will need to facilitate integrated local trauma-informed systems that enable vulnerable children and young people with complex needs to thrive. The Service will need to be characterised by a close level of integration between the clinical delivery and youth work delivery.

Interested providers are invited to complete a short questionnaire as part of an information gathering exercise by the commissioner to inform their strategic direction and service specification (details at the end of this notice).

It is anticipated that a contract will commence on 1st April 2025.

The contract term will be 4 years, with an estimated total contract value of Â£6,789,196.

This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.

Additional information: This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit the Authority or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The Authority will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise.

Interested providers will be able to view this opportunity via the live opportunities list on the 'Health Family' e-procurement system, Atamis. Click on 'View our Live Opportunities' from the home page, available on the following link: [health-family.force.com/s/Welcome](https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome).

If you are not already registered on the system, you will need to do so before gaining full access to the documentation and to be able to submit your expression of interest using the correspondence function within Atamis. Expressions of interest / completed questionnaires must be received by no later than 12 noon on Tuesday 18th June 2024. Please return your questionnaire by attaching to a correspondence / message in Atamis.

These services are healthcare services falling within the Health Care Services, (Provider Selection Regime) (PSR) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, (and the 'Light Touch Regime' contained therein), do not apply to these services and thus do not apply to this notice.

This exercise is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
