The Commissioner is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information(RFI) to gather market intelligence/information, to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Service for the people of Newcastle, and to alert the market to a possible future tender opportunity.
It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express interest in any
future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Find a Tender and on Contracts Finder.
It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential
or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI
exercise.
NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to access the RFI documentation and return completed RFI documentation.
