Opportunity overview

Summary of requirements: The City of London Corporation is seeking to commission one Lead Provider to deliver an online Portal of IPD beds for participating Local Authorities to access IPD beds across the country. The City of London Corporation is acting as a lead authority and accountable body for commissioning the online portal for this project. Background In 2021 the Pan-London In-patient Detoxification Programme was developed to address low levels of inpatient detoxification and stabilisation services in London and to develop more sustainable IPD services and a strategic, longer term programme to meet the needs of this key health inclusion group. Building on the Pan-London commissioning arrangements, the IPD Online Portal is the next phase of this strategy. A Lead Provider will work with London partners to build on the London IPD model to support more accessible, dispersed IPD services and contribute to London’s action to reduce health inequalities. The IPD Online Portal will provide a range of IPD services which meet a range of client needs and have a good geographical spread. The Lead Provider will also work alongside regional strategic partners to develop increasing levels of IPD provision in London for: • Specialist inpatient medically assisted withdrawal beds. • Residential medically assisted withdrawal beds. The Lead Provider will: • Be responsive to evolving needs and will operate with a high level of accountability, transparency and governance • Be monitored using national and local Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and will work with City of London, the Association of Directors of Public-London (ADPHL), Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) to highlight areas of best practice that can be shared locally and nationally • Require and ensure IPD services included in the Online IPD Portal must meet CQC registration requirements (Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2009 and the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009) and provide evidence of current registration. In accordance with regulation 27 (2) of the procurement regulation 2024, the mandatory standstill period will commence on 14 October 2025 and will expire at midnight on the 24th of October.

Description
Please read the document and, if you feel that your organisation is able to contribute to this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise, please complete the questionnaire attached to the end of this document and return via the https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/ portal. Please note that this is not a call for competition. The following are pertinent to this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Questionnaire. Suppliers responding must have: • An understanding of what the City of London Corporation (“the City”) is aiming to deliver. • An experience of working with Local Authorities. • Capability to comply with the Corporation’s requirements for the London IPD Framework Model. • An excellent approach to customer service, For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is for the purpose of conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise and will not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment by the City of London Corporation to undertake any procurement exercise. Participation in the PME will be at each organisations own cost. No expense in responding to this PME will be reimbursed by the City. Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) PME in this case is where the City, at an early stage in the development of its proposals but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity. This exercise will provide an opportunity for the City to obtain insight into how participants might approach the delivery of the service in question. It also gives a useful early insight into the likely level of interest in a proposed project from that market. Participants must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that the City may conduct, nor that the City will procure any such supply and services or accept any proposals offered. Any Procurement of the supply and services by the City will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Procurement Act (PA23). The City has developed a questionnaire (attached at the end of this document) that they would like interested parties to complete. As stated above, the outcome of the PME exercise will inform an options appraisal with recommendations.
