Neighbourhood Health Community Prevention and Empowerment Programme

North, Central and South Croydon South West London Integrated Care Board (SWL ICB) - Croydon Place is inviting providers, voluntary and community sector organisations, social enterprises, primary care partners and other interested organisations to attend a pre-procurement online Market Engagement Event in relation to the forthcoming procurement of the: Croydon Neighbourhood Health Community Prevention and Empowerment Programme The programme represents a significant transition to integrated, locality-based neighbourhood health prevention and empowerment services aligned to population health need and the Neighbourhood Health model. The Commissioner intends to undertake a single procurement exercise comprising three separate locality-based lots: • Lot 1 - North Croydon - Targeted Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Service • Lot 2 - Central Croydon - Targeted Welfare, Housing, Finance Support, BME MMR Uptake & NHS App Uptake Service • Lot 3 - South Croydon - Targeted Weight Management, Social Isolation & Carer Support Service The proposed contract commencement date is anticipated to be 1 April 2027, with an intended contract term of 3 years plus an optional 1-year extension (3+1). The estimated total annual contract value across all three lots is approximately £563,000 per annum. The event will be delivered in three locality-based sections (North, Central and South). Each locality section will include: • A brief presentation outlining the proposed service model and intended outcomes; • A facilitated question and answer session; and • A structured partnership networking session designed in a "speed-dating" format to support introductions between organisations interested in collaborative delivery arrangements. The purpose of the event is to: • support market understanding of the locality-based model; • encourage partnership formation and collaborative delivery discussions. ________________________________________ Collaborative Delivery Models Although the Commissioner intends to undertake a single procurement exercise with three separate locality-based lots, the Commissioner acknowledges that the integrated and multi-component nature of each locality service may be particularly conducive to collaborative delivery models. Accordingly, providers may bid through arrangements including, but not limited to: • Lead Provider models; • Prime Provider / Integrator arrangements; • Consortium structures; and/or • Formal joint venture entities. In all cases, for each lot, a single lead contractual entity must be identified with overall responsibility and accountability for: • contractual performance; • governance arrangements; • financial management; and • compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Providers are therefore encouraged to consider collaborative delivery approaches where these strengthen: • service quality; • local reach; • specialist expertise; and • engagement with underserved communities. ________________________________________ Indicative Component-Level Allocations To support early partnership discussions and indicative delivery planning, providers are invited to consider the following potential component-level indicative cost breakdowns as a possible starting point for consortium or partnership arrangements. Providers should note that these allocations are indicative only and do not represent mandated funding splits or separate contractual lots. Providers may propose alternative delivery and resourcing models where these demonstrate: • value for money; • operational viability; and • the ability to achieve the required service outcomes.
