The event will be held via Microsoft Teams. Organisations will also be given the opportunity to have a 1:1 session with commissioners to discuss any aspect of the service specification/funding. Organisations interested in attending the engagement event and/or having a 1:1 with commissioners should e-mail: agem.bsolgandscontracts@nhs.net for further details. Organisations who are interested in taking part in the subsequent procurement process must express an interest in the requirement by completing a short survey aimed at establishing their general suitability. Organisations may complete this either before or after attending the event on 17th July. The Expression of Interest will be open until 31st July and will be available via the Atamis Health Family portal: https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome. Interested providers must register (if they have not already done so) and search for opportunity reference C295507. Additional information: The total value of this service will be £570,000 over 18 months. As such, this service is below the Light Touch Regime threshold of £663,540 and as such neither NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU nor NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB nor any of the WorkWell partners shall be bound by the requirements of Schedule 3 or any other part of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) for this requirement. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, as this requirement is not for Health Care Services for the purposes of the Health Service in England, none of the aforementioned organisations shall be bound by the requirements of The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for this requirement.
