2. II.2.4) Description of the procurement

This Prior Information Notice communicates NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board 's (the Authority) intention to undertake a competitive process in June 25 for provision of an Integrated Community Musculoskeletal and Pain Service (the Service), in accordance with the steps laid out in regulation 11 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Working with stakeholders since 2023, the Authority has developed a new community pathway for people aged 16 years+, based on the East of England Musculoskeletal (MSK) Pathway Improvement Framework, the Best MSK high impact recommendations and adhering to the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) pathway. This new model of care intends to provide integration across patient pathways, including Single Point of Access (SPoA), clinical triage, physiotherapy, orthopaedics, spinal, rheumatology, pain management, surgical interventions and therapies across MSE. It will assess and treat more patients outside of acute services and deliver improved outcomes, quality and patient experience of care. Estimated dates between which the service is intended to be provided: The Proposed Contract duration is five years from 2nd February 2026 until 1st February 2031, with an option to extend for a further three years beyond the initial term, until 1st February 2034. Approximate lifetime value of the contract: At the point of publication of this PIN, the Authority proposes a cost and volume financial model (local prices) in line with national guidance. The potential aggregate contract value (incl. extension term, growth/inflation assumptions, and potential variations) is £164,452,499 164,149,073 (excluding VAT). The financial envelope which will act as an affordability cap for the purposes of the competitive process will be £86,540,287 £90,163,317 based on the initial 5-year contract term. These figures may be subject to change and any such changes will be made via Corrigendum. The Authority invites interested providers to attend a virtual engagement event, which will be broadcast via an Microsoft (MS) Teams Webinar on Monday 19th May 2025 at 1pm. Registration link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/5118f90d-255e-4c7c-9d49-a04338a7127b@b5fa915c-fcb7-43a5-a5ad-631d989f6e1d The purpose of the market engagement event includes gauging market interest in the contract opportunity, providing information about the requirement to all interested providers, providing an understanding of how the competitive process will work (i.e. the process for raising clarification questions, declaring conflicts of interest, timescales etc), creating an open forum to discuss challenges / risks associated with the opportunity and obtaining feedback including finding out what information potential bidders might require to submit compliant and meaningful tenders. There is currently no anticipated limit on the number of attendees per organisation that can register for the event. The ICB presentation will last for up to 30 mins, followed by a Q&A session for up to 30 minutes. The recording of the webinar will be available shortly after the event itself. All individuals who are interested in attending must register individually via the registration link provided, which will send a joining link by email to each individual. When attendees join the meeting their video and mic will be turned off by default, and names will be hidden from other participants, but not the Organisers. All questions need to be asked via the Q&A chat function which attendees will have access to throughout the meeting itself, but questions will not be reviewed and responded until the end of the presentation. Any queries regarding the market engagement event and or the future Competitive Process should be directed via the messaging facility in the Portal for project reference: sq_125 - Market Engagement Event - Integrated Community Musculoskeletal and Pain Service which can be accessed here: https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/
