Invitations to Tender: Review of Inspections Project

Notice Description

The HTA will commission a number of consultants to assist it in carrying out a review of its inspection process and seeks tenders from suitably qualified and experienced consultants to undertake these workstreams. The aim is to procure a number of independent consultants, working in parallel to facilitate rapid progress. This approach should ensure each consultant has suitable and relevant knowledge, skills and experience for the workstream they are delivering. Quotes are sought and successful consultants appointed, will be expected to quickly establish constructive working relationships with the business to ensure effective coordination of activities with staff who will be contributing to this work or who will be asked to have input as well as with fellow consultants, where relevant. The HTA has project resource to manage and coordinate the activity being undertaken under this project, which is being undertaken under the oversight of the Director of Regulation as Senior Responsible Owner. Any bid should briefly set out how you meet the contractor specification, what approach you would propose to take and give details and the basis of your quote, being clear as to whether VAT needs to be added. Bids will be assessed in line with HTA procurement policy, with contracts awarded to those considered best able to meet the requirements of the work and who offer best value for money. Contractual and appointment details will be finalised with successful bidders once they have been identified. Successful bidders should ideally be available to start in November 2022, with deliverables accomplished by early in Quarter 4 (January to March 2023). The HTA will want to consider actions it may undertake in 2023/24 to take forward any recommendations it adopts from this work. Hence, rapid progress is needed on this project to enable future phases to be incorporated into the HTA's business planning for 2023/24 during Quarter 4 of 2022/23. Bids should therefore be submitted as soon as possible and by 5pm on Monday 24 October 2022 at the latest to Dee.Noonan@hta.gov.uk. Please contact Dee (PM) to discuss this work by email or by phone 020 7269 1949. Additional information: The Human Tissue Authority (HTA) is wishing to commission a number of consultants to assist it in carrying out a review of its inspection process. The HTA's primary goal is to protect public and professional confidence in the safe and ethical use of human tissue. The HTA is the national independent regulator for organisations that remove, store and use tissue for research, medical treatment, post-mortem examination, teaching and display in public. We also give approval for organ and bone marrow donations from living people. With the interests of the public and those we regulate at the centre of our work, we aim to maintain confidence by ensuring that human tissue is used safely and ethically, with proper consent. Established under the Human Tissue Act 2004, we are an Executive Non- Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care. The Authority's Chair and Board are appointed by the Secretary of State for Health. The Chair and half of the Board are lay, with the remainder being professionals drawn from some of the groups who are affected by the legislation. The Authority is supported by an Executive team of 50 staff.
