Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Fertility Treatment - In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Services

Notice Description

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden & GEM CSU) on behalf of the East Midlands Clinical Commissioning Groups which includes NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (NNCCG) acting as lead Commissioners on behalf of NHS Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (DDCCG), NHS Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCG) and NHS Northamptonshire Clinical Commissioning Group (NCCG) (referred to as "the Commissioners or CCGs") are inviting suitably qualified providers capable of delivering Fertility Treatment (Invitro Fertilisation and Intracytoplasmic sperm injection - IVF & ICSI) Services for the patients registered with member GP Practices of the CCG's, for which they are the responsible Commissioner. IVF can be a legitimate medical intervention as part of NHS provision where there is a medical reason for being unable to conceive a child. It may not always be possible to identify the precise nature of the medical reason and thus, infertility is defined as failure to conceive after frequent unprotected sexual intercourse for one to two years in couples in the reproductive age group or by undertaking the number of Donor Insemination cycles defined in the CCG's local policy without conceiving or by having a defined tubal blockage thereby preventing conception. The aim of the service is to ensure that all Patients or service users eligible for NHS funded specialist fertility services in line with the Greater East Midlands Commissioning Policy for IVF/ICSI are treated in line with the policy and guidance issued by the Department of Health, Infertility Network and the revised NICE Guidance (CG 156) published in 2017. The service will provide IVF/ICSI in line with the East Midlands policy, commencing with ovarian stimulation and deemed to be complete when all viable fresh and frozen embryos resulting from that stimulation have been transferred. These services are delivered as zero value / zero volume contracts paid on tariff for activity undertaken. Activity is driven by patient choice.
