Notice Description

NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board (Contracting Authority) Commissioners wish to commission Assisted Conception Services as per the service specification, for Sussex people experiencing infertility or requiring fertility preservation prior to gonadotoxic treatment.

The AQP contracts will commence on 1st April 2023 once the procurement process has reached completion. It should be noted that under the Any Qualified Provider model, there will be no guaranteed volume of activity, or payment in the contracts awarded. Any provider will be eligible to join a list of qualified providers subject to demonstrating competency against the authority's specified criteria. The list will be subsequently opened to new entrants to the market, subject to assessment. If qualified, your organisation will be required to accept the terms and conditions and be compliant with the NHS Standard Contract and any subsequent revisions thereof.
