For the purposes of the engagement event on the 28.6.2018, please note due to space limitations we are only able to accommodate 2 delegates per organisation. If you could confirm attendance by way of email to guy.jennings@nhs.net no later than 21.6.2018 (12:00 noon).
It is anticipated that the contract term of up to 5 years and estimated contract value range (between 25 000 000 GBP - 50 000 000 GBP) reflect the Clinical Commissioning Groups wish through this procurement, to identify a service provider who could if the need arose successfully manage service activity changes. For example, should activity volumes increase because:
1) the number of days and or times patient services are provided is modified;
2) Strategic Transformation Programmes are implemented altering the locations, methods or volume of delivered services;
3) other service requirements become available during the term of the contract;
4) the demography within the area changes
For the avoidance of doubt, the estimated contract value range is not a contractual commitment to increase activity levels through the term of the agreement, but to make the market aware changes to activity levels may arise during the contracts’ lifetime. The contract term, affordability and key performance indicators will be a focus of discussion for the engagement event prior to the publication of the Tender.
It is anticipated that a mobilisation period of between 3-5 months maybe required, prior to the contract launch date of 1.4.2019 when the existing contract ends.
