Market Engagement - The CYP participation and co-production Offer

NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (referred to as the Commissioner) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express their interest in the provision of the CYP participation and co-production Offer

Norfolk & Waveney is committed to ensuring Children, Young People and their families have a voice and inform the development and delivery of the support they receive for their physical and mental health. This offer (‘the offer’) aims to:
1. Build on and coordinate existing participation and engagement networks across all age groups 0-25 yrs
2. Focus on under 11s and CYP experiencing health inequalities which represent identified participation and engagement gaps existing across our system

The purpose of this advert is to invite the market to engage, provide feedback on the draft specification and register for an online market engagement event, which is scheduled on 28th November, 9.00am-10.00am for the provision of a CYP participation and co-production Offer by testing key themes from the new service model and provide the ICB with valuable information to ensure that the Service Specification is fit for purpose.

The deadline for Soft Market Testing responses is by 17:00 hours on the 28th November 2023. Please note this is a market testing exercise and does not commit the ICB to carry out any further procurement process. Current services will remain in place during this period in line with existing contracts and service level agreements. Any future opportunity will be advertised in accordance with the regulations.

It is anticipated that the contract period will be for an initial period of 2 years with the option to extend for up to a further year, commencing 1st April 2024. The indicative contract value is £20,000 per annum, £600,000 over the full 3 years. This is subject to review following the early engagement.
