NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board (STW ICB) has issued a market engagement notice for a consultant-led clinical review of patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). This opportunity falls under the health services category and is specifically seeking expressions of interest (EOIs) from qualified providers experienced in ME/CFS services. The procurement is in the planning stage and aims to assess market interest, which will guide the future procurement direction.
Interested providers must submit their EOIs by 12:00 noon on 24th April 2025 via the Atamis Health Family eCommercial System. This market engagement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those adept at managing ME/CFS. Providers with the appropriate experience and capacity to deliver specialised consultant-led reviews of complex cases are encouraged to participate.
The contract is estimated at a value of £33,000 and will support the STW area by addressing the needs of approximately 146 patients who require detailed assessments to determine their ongoing care. Given the specificity and expertise required, this opportunity is well-suited to healthcare providers who can offer specialised clinical evaluations and contribute to the improvement of patient outcomes in the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin region.
Within STW there are currently around 146 patients with ME/CFS who are overdue their follow up appointment with no consultant-led service in place.

The service is to be provided from a base within STW, to determine their ongoing care requirements in line with one of the following three outcomes: <br/>* Continue active treatment <br/>* Discharge from the service in totality<br/>* Management in community either via local community service or GP<br/><br/>STW ICB is seeking Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from potential providers that are suitably qualified and experienced in delivering ME/CFS services. <br/><br/>It is anticipated that any future contract will be for a one-off period, as agreed with the successful provider, with an estimated value of PS33,000 including VAT. It is intended that this will be issued as a block contract. NHS Standard Contract Terms and Conditions will apply. It is anticipated that the Contract will commence as soon as is practically possible.<br/><br/>This market engagement exercise shall enable STW ICB to help inform the level of interest, capacity and capability of the market for this specialised service, inform the specification and influence future commissioning and procurement direction. <br/><br/>Any Provider wishing to express an interest in delivering this ME/CFS service in the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin (STW) area should register their interest and complete the questionnaire on the Atamis Health Family eCommercial System at https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome, no later than 12:00 noon on 24/04/2025.<br/><br/>STW ICB is only seeking expressions of interest from providers who are attracted to this potential opportunity and capable of providing the service.
