NHS England and NHS Improvement - East of England region are seeking to procure provider(s) for the provision of Special Allocation Scheme (previously referred to as the Violent Patient Scheme) Service initially within the Mid and South Essex STP and West Essex CCG area, potentially further expanding across the East of England region under a multi-supplier, multi-Lot framework agreement to commence from 1st October 2020 for a maximum term of 4 years (including extension options, if any). The framework will have the provision to award contracts to Organisations offered a place on the Framework (Framework provider) via a direct call-off, further/mini-competition or a combination of both contract award options.
