This engagement is taking place via semi-structured interviews, between Commissioners and Providers who register their interest. The interviews will be done on an individual Provider basis and kept confidential where possible. However, if information is gained that results in changes made to the draft service specification, performance metrics, other contract documentation or any of the associated tender documentation, then an audit trail that may detail the Provider could be deemed releasable under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act or any other applicable request mechanisms for the NHS. The interview slots will be for 90 minutes and will take place using Microsoft Teams (delegates will be sent an email / calendar invite). The interviews are anticipated to take place on 19th, 20th, or 21st October 2021. You can register to take part in this interview process on the form linked below. If you have a request for a specific date, we will try to accommodate this but please note it cannot be guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
