Pre-Tender Market Engagement Event - Medway CCG Wellbeing Cafe

Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is expecting to commence the formal procurement process for the procurement of its wellbeing café service to operate across the Medway area.

The Commissioners are looking to get early engagement with providers and the market in general who share our passion and commitment and who are dedicated to providing the very best choice, service and patient care standards. In particular the commissioners would like to discuss our plans with the market to understand capacity and the ability of providers to deliver the service. The CCG would be open to ideas around different models of providing the service and are looking for some innovative ideas from providers.

A detailed service specification will be published as part of the procurement process. However, the CCGs would like to get potential provider views and ideas as well as assess current market appetite to provide this service. The outcomes of the event will then determine next steps.

What is a Wellbeing Café? A café or safe place aimed at people with mental health issues to reduce social isolation, give support and offer groups such as mindfulness. The service should be in the evenings and weekends when there are limited other services.

The event will be held on the 8th January 2016 at 13.00
