Description
The purpose of this market engagement questionnaire is to inform future commissioning intentions and to stimulate interest in the provision of an Emotional Health & Wellbeing (EHWB) Services for young people aged 11-18 across NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) / Devon Integrated Care Board (ICB). We are building our system around THRIVE* (Wolpert et al 2019) and its underlying principles:
• Needs led
• Shared Decision Making
• Proactive prevention and promotion
• Partnership Working
• Outcome Informed
• Reducing Stigma
• Accessibility
• Common language
The Link to the Thrive framework for system change is http://implementingthrive.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/THRIVE-Framework-for-system-change-2019.pdf
This market engagement is particularly focused on informing commissioning intentions towards supporting children within their local community which may include schools whose needs primarily fall within the needs based groupings of Getting Advice and Getting Help.
For suppliers this process will help you to understand NHS Devon CCG/ Devon ICB's requirements for the provision of EHWB Services from April 2023 onwards.
For commissioners this process will help us to gather necessary information on suppliers who are potentially interested in providing this service, to inform our onward process and decision making.
Interested providers are invited to complete a short questionnaire as part of an information gathering exercise by NHS Devon to inform their strategic direction and decision making. A link to the MS Forms questionnaire is available within the Additional Text section of this Early Engagement Notice.
Please note that this process is not formally evaluated or scored and does not stipulate that NHS Devon will undertake a tender process for this service or will not impact an evaluation of a future tender process, should one be undertaken. At this stage your interest is sought to help commissioners develop the most appropriate strategy and approach to commissioning this service.
The deadline for submissions of this questionnaire is Wednesday 13th July 2022 at 12 midday.
NHS Devon is also looking for registrations of interest for attendance to a market engagement event on Friday 22nd July 2022 via MS Teams.
If you would like to book a place at this event, please complete the attendance form included in this notice and return to Mark Harding via e-mail at scwcsu.clinical.procurement@nhs.net by 17:00 on Wednesday 13th July 2022.

This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit the Authority or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The Authority will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise.
The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but is instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).
Any future tendering process will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and flexibilities provided by Articles 74 to 76 of the Directive, and Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. The Authority will run a transparent tender process, treating all Bidders equally. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority will not be bound by the Regulations or any other regulations or legislation except for the specific parts or circumstances that apply to the procurement of these Services.
Neither the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage, nor the use of any language or terms found in the Directive or Regulations, nor the description of the procedure voluntarily adopted by the Authority ("Open", "Restricted", "Competitive Procedure with Negotiation", "Competitive Dialogue" or any other description), nor any other indication, shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound by the Directive or Regulations, save by the provisions applicable to services coming within the scope of Annex XIV of the Directive / Schedule 3 of the Regulations.
