Request for Quotation: Neurodevelopmental Community Hubs on behalf of NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care Board

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (DDICB) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering Neurodevelopmental Community Hubs by responding to this opportunity as required and described in the published tender documentation. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the procurement process.

The process is a one stage open process.

As part of the work to transform the Neurodevelopmental diagnostic pathway DDICB along with other system partners, including experts by experience would like to create Community Hubs for CYP who are pre or post diagnosis, and their families and carers. Pre diagnosis includes people who just need advice, information and early support but have not been referred for a formal assessment. The hubs will wrap around the core assessment pathway, providing a wide range of advice, information, support and other activities in an environment that helps people to feel safe and part of a wider network. This also provides the opportunity for professionals to signpost to the hub for advice and information, along with other services such as, the SEND advice line and the ND portal on the Derby and Derbyshire Emotional Health and Wellbeing website, and Derby City and Derbyshire County local offers, rather than referring straight onto the assessment pathway.

The service contract will commence 1st May 2023 and is for a period 1 year with no option to extend.

This opportunity is presented as being across four different 'lots' based on geographical areas - meaning a provider could express an interest in and deliver a service in one, two, three or all four of these 'lots', which relate to priority geographical areas. Bidders may bid for one or more lot; there is no restriction on the number of lots a provider can bid for or be successful for:

• Lot 1 - High Peak: Within boundary of the borough parameter
• Lot 2 - Central Derbyshire: Within 15 miles radius from DE55
• Lot 3 - Derby City: Within boundary of the borough parameter
• Lot 4 - South Derbyshire: Within boundary of the borough parameter

Please note there is a financial threshold associated with this procurement. Any bids received exceeding £50,000 per hub per annum over the term of the contract will be excluded from evaluation and disqualified from the process. Suppliers can bid for up to a maximum of 4 hubs (£200,000 in total). No bids over £50,000 per hub per annum will be accepted. The maximum total budget is therefore £200,000 per annum over the four lots outlined.
