Notice Title

Greater Manchester - Gender Dysphoria Service for Adults (Non-Surgical) NHS England

Notice Description

Following a successful pilot, NHS England (NHSE) is substantively commissioning specialised healthcare interventions (non-surgical) within a primary care setting that is appropriate to service the population in Greater Manchester, for adults on the NHS pathway of care for the treatment of gender dysphoria. Providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver the service requirements are invited to take part in a procurement process that will result in a single contract being let. The two-stage process will first test provider capability and capacity, then shortlisted providers will be invited to submit substantive service delivery proposals. The successful provider will utilise a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, and the service will be delivered in compliance with NHSE's published service specification (provided with this notice). The service will provide assessment of individuals for the purpose of diagnosis and will provide (or arrange access to) healthcare interventions for those who receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria as described in the service specification. The contract is currently expected to commence in December 2023, though this is subject to mobilisation timings and therefore this date may be delayed (at the commissioner's sole discretion). The contract term will be 5 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years (at commissioner discretion). The indicative contract value at this stage is up to PS1,773,000 p/a recurring and up to PS100,000 to cover mobilisation costs (if required, and at the commissioner's sole discretion). The commissioner reserves the right to add related service elements and funding during the contract if they deem it to be necessary. Additional information: The objectives of the service are: * provide a high-quality, timely and sustainable service for adults who are registered with a GP in Greater Manchester and who have gender dysphoria; and promote respect, dignity, and equality for all individuals. * an integrated approach that supports the wider system in delivering an individual's overall health and social care needs. * provide a service with a visible profile, with at least one physical location where individuals feel safe, supported, and welcomed. * provide a service with robust clinical and operational governance structures, systems and frameworks. * establishment of a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals, with a named clinical lead, who either have experience or are interested in developing competencies and expertise in the care of individuals with gender dysphoria. * engagement with and inclusion of service users in the co-design and ongoing development and delivery of the service. * establishment and development of meaningful collaborative relationships with local statutory services to meet the needs of the population. * exploitation of digital technology to facilitate patient access and enhance the patient experience. Interested providers will be able to view this opportunity via the 'current tenders' list on the e-procurement system, Atamis, available on the following link: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome If you are not already registered on the system, you will need to do so before you can fully access the opportunity. On registration, please include at least two contacts to allow for access to the system in times of absence. The procurement process will consist of two stages: Stage 1: The aim of this shortlisting stage is predominantly to test the capability and capacity of potential Providers and to identify whether there is more than one capable provider; (2) Stage 2 will either be: (a) a competitive process (if more than one capable provider is identified at Stage 1), which may involve dialogue and will involve assessment of bids against published evaluation criteria and weightings; or (b) a collaborative "Assurance Process" with a single provider, if only one capable provider is identified at Stage 1. Both approaches will involve evidence being considered by subject matter experts and assessed against critical success factors and expected minimum standards.
