Abstract

Following feedback from the previous Market Engagement activities the service requirements have been developed, and information gathered from this Market Engagement Event will inform key outcomes as well as the procurement process.

Our context:

SHICB are looking to hear from potential providers who share our passion and commitment and who are dedicated to providing choice, excellent services and patient care. Commissioners are committed to ensuring that the service provider(s) can deliver continuously improving and safe services for children and young people, across Surrey (and the stipulated geography). This will require a single operating model that delivers across Surrey but also wraps around the Places and communities in Surrey. It should complement, support and drive innovation and integration across the wider system, with reporting and assurance reflecting that single operating model or provision.

This model includes services:

• Community Paediatric Medical Services (Developmental Paediatricians)

• Physiotherapy

• Speech and Language Therapy

• Occupational Therapy

• Community Children's Nursing Team

• Children's Continuing healthcare Team

• Audiology

• Safeguarding Children Team

• Looked After Children Health Team

• Specialist School Nursing

• Medical Advisor for SEND

• 0-19 School Nursing and Health Visiting Service

• Parent and Infant Mental Health

• School-Aged Immunisation Services

Further details of the overarching model, as well as feedback from previous Market Engagement activities can be found on:

The contract will be managed by a lead ICB on behalf of the other ICBs, NHS England and Surrey County Council (Public Health and Children’s Services), who will be associate commissioners.

II.1.4) Short description

Surrey Heartlands ICB, Surrey County Council, Frimley ICB and NHS England are seeking to secure a model of care for children’s community health services across Surrey (and North East Hampshire as per individual service specifications). These community services focus on prevention of ill health, advising on child development and providing targeted and specialist medical, nursing, immunisation or therapy services when needed (for example because a child has a developmental delay, disability, or significant health difficulties). Safeguarding and early intervention are central to this. Commissioning organisations would like to hear from organisations who have the experience, capability and capacity to deliver the ambition laid out in this PIN notice. This is not an invitation to tender.

Following the Market Engagement Activities in April 2023, the commissioning organisations warmly invite you to take part in market engagement activities for potential and existing providers of Children’s Community Health provision to support us in defining the scope of services and to test our aspirations. Interested organisations are invited to register to attend an in person Market Engagement Event where the commissioning organisations will outline our plans for the procurement and contract for the provision of children community health services.

The Children’s Community Health Services will be commissioned via a joint NHS contract: NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB (SHICB) are the Awarding Authority for these services, on behalf of itself and Commissioners as listed below:

1. NHS Frimley ICB

2. Surrey County Council

3. NHS England

Surrey County Council will be leading the procurement process on behalf of itself, Surrey Heartlands ICB, Frimley ICB and NHS England. We will be contracting a standard NHS contract, with standard terms and conditions.

Children’s Community Health Services in Surrey comprise a wide range of community-based services that support physical and emotional health and wellbeing amongst children and young people from birth up to 19 years of age and their families and carers. These services focus on:

• preventing ill health

• promoting and supporting child development

• providing targeted and specialist medical, nursing, immunisation, and therapy services.

The purpose of this market engagement will be to:

- Share with you our vision, priorities and service model for Children’s Community Health provision in Surrey (recap following last market engagement activity)

- Summarise feedback from previous market engagement activity

- Provide information about Surrey’s population and other services aligned with this contract

- Share a summary of service specifications

- Provide an update on challenges in current delivery and discuss opportunities for different ways of working

- Outline the next steps in the recommissioning Children’s Community Health Services Programme

For this purpose, contracting authorities may for example seek or accept advice from independent experts, or from market participants. That advice may be used in the planning and conduct of the procurement process. The commissioning organisations assure all participants that the advice received will not have the effect of distorting competition, and we abide by principles of non-discrimination and transparency.

The commissioning organisations would like to invite Providers with relevant experience, capability, and capacity to deliver these services to register for the Market Engagement Event in relation to Children’s Community Health services.

To ensure a Multi-Disciplinary approach, key personnel from partner organisations such as GP’s, Primary Care and voluntary sector organisations are also welcome to attend the Market Engagement Event to explore how this service can work together with these disciplines.
