The BLMK Integrated Health and Care Partnership strategy's overarching ambition is to increase the number of years people spend in good health and reduce the gap between the healthiest and least healthy in our community. The scope, value, process(es) and contract model(s) of the services to be implemented are yet to be determined as Commissioners are considering: • The national and local direction of travel around shift in the model of care toward prevention. • Providing an equitable and sustainable service provision across the locality. • Demographics to determine (potential) change in demand for services. • Opportunities for improvement. • The ongoing development of the case for change. • The need to deliver care differently to meet growing needs in clinical areas. This PIN is not a formal call for competition and does not signal the launch of any formal procurement process but is being issued by the Commissioners as they are seeking to engage with suitably qualified providers to help inform and shape the next steps of this commissioning process. The Commissioners aims are: • Engaging with providers. • Understanding the interest there might be in providing such services from suitably qualified providers. • Informing the commissioning process. • Gathering information from stakeholders that may be used to shape a commissioning / procurement process and the associated documentation. Suitably qualified providers are asked to express their interest via our eprocurement portal - please see Section VI: Complementary information of this notice for further details. Up to four (4) engagements events will take place over the coming months. Please note that the first engagement event is schedule to take place on 10th July 2025. As such, only organisations that have expressed an interest and completed the event registration form (available via the portal) on or before 12:00 on Wednesday 9th July 2025 will be invited to this first event. All correspondence relating to the events will be provided through the eprocurement portal. The eprocurement portal will remain open for organisations to express an interest until 15th September 2025. Details on subsequent event and enrolment will be posted through this route.
