Technical requirements: NHS Luton Clinical Commissioning Group and Luton Council are jointly commissioning an integrated health and wellbeing service that will work with our communities to proactively deliver a preventative approach that emphasises the whole person and which works to achieve the optimum levels of physical, mental, social and emotional health. The Luton wellbeing service will have one lead (Prime) provider who may work with local partner organisations under a single branding, promoting ‘one-service’, regardless of whether different organisations are delivering components of the service.
The Luton Wellbeing service will be an integral part of Primary Care Home which is our Luton clinical model that enables the public to access wellbeing support in their locality.
The range of wellbeing services included within the scope of the procurement will be: — Primary Care Mental Health Assessment and Liaison Service — Talking Therapies — Improved Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) — Live Well Luton healthy lifestyle services — Weight Management (all ages), Healthy Living, Exercise Referral on referral — Physical activity — Smoking Cessation Services and Tobacco control including prevention in schools — Social Prescription — Community Health checks While the service will cover a full life course for healthy lifestyles, and will support, physical, social emotional and mental health prevention, alongside resilience for families and children, working with existing services to achieve this, the majority of the scope will initially relate to adults 16+ with future scope to include greater focus on children's mental wellbeing. It is expected that the mobilisation of the service will be over a period of 2 years.
— Phase 1 will include all IAPT Services and Healthy Living Services, Social Prescriptions and Smoking Cessation services.
— Phase 2 will be the development of the Primary Care Mental Health Assessment and Liaison Service (subject to agreement by the Contracting Authority).
— Moving forward Phase 3 will relate to further agreed Children's Wellbeing services and Bidders should be aware that after the award of contract, dependent upon agreement with the Contracting Authority, there is a possibility that the successful Bidder may be offered a variation to the contract to include such services covering the Luton area, in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
Furthermore, the service specification will be reviewed by the CCGs as the Sustainability and Transformation (STP) develops across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK). Bidders should be aware that after the award of contract, dependent upon agreement within the BLMK STP footprint, there is a possibility that the successful Bidder may be offered a variation to the contract, in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, for provision of Adult/Children's Wellbeing Services covering the BLMK STP footprint.
There is a requirement from commissioners that the prospective Lead provider will review how all ‘Well-Being’ services can be redesigned to contribute to the delivery of constitutional targets within the financial resources available.

Entering general supplier information. Attain utilises the Cabinet Office Supplier Information Database (sid4gov) to manage and assess general pre-qualification information in the form of a profile.
Sid4gov has been developed by the Cabinet Office following agile development principles to provide a replacement for sid4health in the 1st phase, with subsequent developments planned to improve the scope of the questions, scope of user access and integration with other eEnabled applications. The future vision is to create a single supplier registration portal that will provide 1 place for suppliers to register and provide information for procurement in support of management information requirements and responses to tenders across the public sector. This portal will also provide public sector buyers with a single place to access supplier related information in support of market engagement and procurement processes. Candidates are requested to provide their profile in sid4gov.
In order to access sid4gov for the 1st time, you will need to register, providing your individual and organisation details including the relevant DUNs number. The use of a DUNs number is mandated for registration and will support identification of suppliers across all eEnablement applications. This will help government to improve data quality throughout procurement and is a key enabler of the policy for transparency. It will also assist in the future development as we integrate across other applications in support of a single registration process. There is no cost to suppliers in registering for sid4gov or getting a DUNs number.
Candidates should ensure all the mandatory fields of their sid4gov profile are completed. Failure to comply with the completion of all mandatory fields could result in the elimination from the procurement process. Please note D&B data will be supplied automatically by D&B. Candidates must publish at least 1 validated profile to make their profile available for buyers to view generally.
