NHS England would like to invite providers to attend a Market Engagement Event which will inform the market of the intentions to procure Health and Wellbeing and Lead Provider services for one or two Child House(s) in North Central London and/or South West London Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) areas.

In 2015 NHS England (London) carried out a Clinical Review of pathways for children who had been victims of sexual abuse and in 2016 NHS England and Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) carried out a joint health needs assessment for children who were victims of sexual exploitation.

These documents identified gaps in the current pathways in both health and criminal justice services in London and the clinical review proposed the Child House model as a possible solution.

The Child House model has been developed internationally and centres around the delivery of both health and wellbeing support, social care and criminal justice activity under a single service in a fixed location to victims.

This model sets out to improve the experience for victims by integrating delivery where possible meaning that victims do not need to repeat their story and thereby avoid re-traumatisation.

It is intended that a procurement process will commence in August with a view for the services to commence on the 1st March 2018 - with a phased contract implementation period following the formal commencement of the contract.

The Market Engagement Event will take place on 22nd Aug 2017 from 10:00 - 12:00 in Warren Room at Radisson Blu Edwardian, Grafton, 130 Tottenham Court Road, London, Greater London, United Kingdom, W1T 5AY.

The Market Engagement Event will provide: • an overview of the proposed services to be provided • details of the anticipated contract type, length and particular conditions • an overview of the procurement process and the anticipated timeline • an opportunity to contribute to the development of the service specification Places are limited therefore reservations are limited to no more than 2 persons per organisation.

To reserve your place please complete the registration form and email the completed form to david.singleton2@nhs.uk by 18th August 2017.

Registration desk will be open from 09:45 am - 10:00 am.

Presentation will start from 10:00 am and a Question and Answer (Q&A) session will take place at the end.
