Description

***This advert is for pre-procurement market engagement only - this is not a procurement at this stage***
NHS Kent and Medway ICB intends to commission several contracts that will form part of
the future mental health offer for its children and young people.
The commissioner has published this Prior Information Notice to support pre- procurement
market engagement only at this stage.
Further to the previous market engagement event in November 2023, the Commissioner
intends to hold a further in-person pre-procurement market engagement event to build on
the work started to help the Commissioner develop the contracting model for future
contracts. Commissioners will also ask stakeholders to provide feedback and reflections on
emerging ideas around collaborative learning networks & advice models and how innovation
can be applied to this area. The Commissioner welcomes participation from both
stakeholders who attended the previous event, and any new stakeholders who may be
interested in attending.
The in-person pre-market engagement event will take place in Aylesford Community Centre
between 9:30am and 12:30pm on Thursday 1st February 2024.

procurement procedure further to, or as a result of, this pre-market engagement event. Any
