Those interested in delivering the service should complete the online market engagement questionnaire, including any organisations who consider themselves to be potential sub-contractors to the service and would like their details to be shared with potential prime providers. Following market questionnaire submissions, NHSE/I South East intends to engage directly with potential prime providers, who will be invited to attend a virtual market engagement event. Following this event, there will be the opportunity for potential prime providers to meet 1:1 with Commissioners to further develop understanding of the opportunities and barriers to providing these services in the establishments described and to discuss their questionnaire responses, along with the procurement in general. To encourage networking, and with consent, all contact details of prime providers and sub-contractors who complete the market questionnaire will be shared via the procurement portal. Further details of the event including joining instructions and timings will be provided to those prime providers who express an interest and complete the market engagement questionnaire once the PIN has closed. Providers who wish to express their interest and complete the questionnaire will need to register on the e-procurement system, In-Tend, available on the following link: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home The questionnaire can be accessed via the 'current tenders' list on In-Tend, listed as 'WA9251/ME: Integrated Healthcare Services to Surrey Prisons and HMP/YOI Bronzefield for NHS England and NHS Improvement South East', select 'express an interest' and then 'opt in'. Please complete the market questionnaire within In-Tend by midday on Monday 1st November 2021. NHSE/I South East will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise.
