Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for Podiatry Services targeting the Sunderland and South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Groups. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 25 August 2021. The process aims to gather insights that will inform the service delivery proposals for both complex and non-complex patients within the specified locality. Interested providers can access the RFI documentation free of charge through the In-Tend electronic portal, where they are required to register to submit their responses by the deadline.

This RFI provides a unique opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in healthcare services and podiatry, to showcase their capabilities and potentially shape the future provision of these services in the North East of England. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as this initiative is designed to widen market participation before the future tender process begins. By expressing interest in this RFI, businesses can position themselves favourably for forthcoming contract opportunities and participate in shaping a vital public service.

Notice Title

NECS393 Request for Information - Podiatry Services

Notice Description

North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS Sunderland and NHS South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Groups (the Contracting Authorities) who are conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise to engage with the market in order to inform the further development of draft proposals for the future service of delivery of Podiatry Services - Complex and Non-Complex Patients for South Tyneside and Sunderland locality areas. The Contracting Authorities are interested to hear from providers who could deliver Podiatry Services - Complex and Non-Complex Patients in South Tyneside and Sunderland geographical areas. It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Find a Tender (FTS) and on Contracts Finder. It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI exercise. NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to access and return the RFI documentation. It is free to register on the portal, which can be accessed at any time of day. Should you have any queries, or are having problems registering on the portal, you should contact the eTendering provider by Email: support@in-tend.com or by phone 0844 2728810 Website: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu/aspx/Home Helpdesk Support is available (Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5.00pm). Potential providers are to note that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services. The RFI documentation will be accessible from 12 August 2021 and completed RFI responses must be submitted by 5pm 25 August 2021. Additional information: The In-Tend portal can be found at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu (Please follow the registration instructions if you are not already registered) and look for the project NECS393 Request for Information - Podiatry Services. The RFI documentation will be accessible from 12 August 2021 and completed RFI responses must be returned by 5pm, 25 August 2021. N.B. Due to currently proposed legislation which may mean that the current responsibilities of CCGs will transfer into Integrated Care Systems with effect from 1st March 2022, the ultimate commissioner for this contract may change.
