## About this tender

\*\* THIS NOTICE IS FOR MARKET ENGAGEMENT PURPOSES ONLY \*\*

NHS Arden and GEM CSU are inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express their interest in delivering a S12 Digital Solution.

A digital solution is required which automates the management of the Mental Health Act S12 Assessment process.

The digital platform will need to include the following functions to allow the automation of the S12 Assessment process.

â&#128;¢ Only accredited S12 Doctors should be able to access the system meaning that pre-authorisation checks that the Doctor has been accredited has already taken place. These will need to be regularly checked and updated by the provider.

â&#128;¢ S12 Doctors should be able to add their availability calendar to the system which means professionals can see which Doctors are available to be called upon at any time.

â&#128;¢ The AMHP - (Allied Mental Health Professional - accredited social worker under the powers of the MHA) should be able to open and manage their S12 caseload on the system.

â&#128;¢ Doctors must be able to add their information on the system when they have completed their assessment, leading to automatic payment in the next monthly scheduled payment run.

â&#128;¢ The software provider will need to provide training for Doctors, AMHPs and admin staff to use the system effectively and provide online support to all users.

â&#128;¢ The ICB will need to receive detailed activity reports regarding numbers, times and dates of assessments along with providers which can aid resource allocation.

The purpose of this advert is to invite the market to engage and provide feedback on the draft specification. This will provide the ICB with valuable information to ensure that the service and specification is fit for purpose.

The deadline for market engagement responses is by 17:00 hours on Tuesday 6th May 2025. Please note this is a market testing exercise and does not commit the ICB to carry out any further procurement process. Any future opportunity will be carried out in accordance with the ICB's procurement obligations under the Procurement Act 2023.
