Notice Title

Vasectomy Services - NHS/SCW/23.931 - RFI No.2 / Atamis C251450

Notice Description

NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board (ICB) are considering a single Provider model to cover the entire population of NHS Sussex ICB (Brighton & Hove and East Sussex and West Sussex). The ICB is seeking the further views of healthcare providers in relation to vasectomy services in Sussex and has issued a new RFI (Request for Information) questionnaire to prospective providers. The service would be contracted using an NHS Standard contract, and would be for 5 years with a single extension option for another 3 years. The annual contract value would be circa PS500,000 per annum, so PS4 million across the maximum possible 8 year contract duration. The Commissioners are holding a virtual market engagement event on 20th March 2024. In order to book your place, please complete and return the market engagement questionnaire by no later than Friday 15th March 2024 at 12pm (Noon). Please complete the document and return your responses via https://healthfamily.force.com/s/Welcome by no later than Friday 15th March 2024 at 12pm (Noon). Additional information: This is a process designed to help the Commissioner form a view of the best way to commission the service and is not the beginning of a tender exercise. A further tender advertisement will be issued at the appropriate time if required. Feedback at this point will not have a bearing on any tender submissions that respondents may wish to offer at a later date in response to formal calls for tenders. No party will be disadvantaged which chooses not to respond to this RFI but it will be helpful to understand all views at this early stage, so all are encouraged to respond as fully as possible.
