Children’s Community Health Services

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 • Tongue Tie (over 10 days) • Specialist School Nursing • Medical Advisor for SEND • 0-19 School Nursing and Health Visiting Service • Parent and Infant Mental Health • Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services - School Nursing • School-Aged Immunisation Services Further details of the overarching model, as well as feedback from previous Market Engagement activities can be found on: https://www.surreyheartlands.org/surrey-childrens-community-health-services-procurement 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.
