Description

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of NHS England - Midlands (North Midlands) is carrying out a market engagement exercise for the provision Liaison and Diversion Services for Herefordshire, Shropshire & Telford & Wrekin areas. This is to assist the commissioner in deciding on the most appropriate and effective lotting strategy for the future procurement. The Commissioner is considering the following three

(Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin)
Option 2) This option would be to split the service into two LOTs (Herefordshire as LOT 1 and
Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin as LOT 2). Bidders would be able to bid for 1 or both lots.
Option 3) This option would be to split the service into three LOTs (Herefordshire as LOT 1,
Shropshire as LOT 2 and Telford & Wrekin as LOT 3). Bidders would be able to bid for 1,2 or 3 lots.
The service provision will cater for vulnerable individuals of all ages in the offender pathway and
help to
inform subsequent decisions, about where an individual is best placed to receive treatment,
taking into
account public safety, safety of the individual and punishment of the offence. For this service
provision, Arden & GEM CSU would like to encourage innovative solutions including strategic
alliances which will deliver value for money and improved services to patients. The service
