Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit is initiating a procurement process for Tier 3 and 4 Bariatric Services, aimed at addressing obesity-related health issues in Lancashire, South Cumbria, and Merseyside. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 6th November 2018. A market engagement event is scheduled for 16th November 2018, where potential suppliers will have the opportunity to discuss the current specification and requirements. The CCGs plan to establish a long-term contract, potentially lasting five years with an option to extend for an additional two years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in obesity treatments and related health services. Suppliers, including SMEs and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, as this project seeks sustainable solutions for Tier 4 service delivery. The focus on cooperation between Tier 3 and Tier 4 pathways also suggests that businesses with experience in integrated healthcare solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Tier 3 and 4 Bariatric Services (Lancashire, South Cumbria and Merseyside CCGs)

Notice Description

Obesity is a major public health problem due to its association with serious chronic diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia which are major risk factors for CVD. Obesity is also associated with cancer, disability, liver disease, poor mental and psychological health, disability, reduced QOL and premature death. The obese state shortens life expectancy. The expected years of life lost is 13 years for men and 8 years for women, for men and women between 20-30 years of age with a BMI greater than 45. It is estimated that circa 6.8% of deaths are attributable to obesity. Lancashire, South Cumbria and Merseyside CCGs will be going to the market to procure Tier 4 Services to meet this requirement and will be reviewing its Tier 3 pathway. CCGs view there being major interoperabilities between the two pathways. Currently arrangements are urgently being put in place to secure capacity for Tier 4 patients but a long term solution is required. CCGs see the benefit of a long term contract or contracts of around 5 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years for tier 4 services as a preferrable approach. Long term transformation would be expected within a contract of this duration particularly in support of tier 3 pathway providers to create better outcomes for patients. An event will be held on the 16th November 2018. The event will discuss the current situation, intended procurement approach, seek feedback on the current specification, discuss activity, quality and performance, finance and provide an opportunity to speak with commissioners. Tier 3 and Tier 4 providers are welcome to attend and there will be a workshop dedicated to Tier 3 provision. To register to receive details for the event please email mlcsu.tenders@nhs.net by the 14th November 2018.
