Notice Information

Notice Title

NHS111 Services for Kent, Medway and Sussex

Notice Description

This is a one year contract whose sole purpose is to enable the on-going provision of an NHS111 Service to the patient population of the participating clinical commissioning groups whilst enabling the procurement and mobilisation of a 5 year contract for NHS111 & Clinical Assessment Service commencing 1st April 2020. The need for this one year contract came about following abandoned procurements in both Kent & Medway and Sussex in 2018. In February 2018 two separate procurement processes in Kent & Medway and Sussex were commenced for services including NHS111 Services. However the decision to discontinue the two processes was taken by the Commissioners following concerns that the processes did not adequately demonstrate Value for Money (VFM) and could not result in a contract award across all of the services for which suppliers had been sought. Furthermore to enable the new procurement process(es) with sufficient mobilisation period, which was a key point raised by bidders at the Kent Market Engagement Event, this one year contract has become necessary to ensure continuation of supply of a critical service to the patient population of the participating clinical commissioning groups. The procurement of the NHS111 and Clinical Assessment Service is due to commence in January 2019 and a market engagement event is scheduled for 17th January 2019; a prior information notice will be published in relation to the forth-coming procurement and market engagement event by the 31st December 2018. Additional information: NHS Swale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is the Lead Commissioner on behalf of the following Commissioners:- NHS Medway CCG, NHS West Kent CCG, NHS Dartford, Gravesham & Swanley Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG, NHS Crawley CCG, NHS Brighton & Hove CCG, NHS Coastal West Sussex CCG, NHS Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford CCG,NHS High Weald Lewes Havens CCG, NHS Hastings & Rother CCG
