NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) are acting on behalf of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, to obtain a Contractor for The Provision of a Laboratories Managed Service. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHS GG&C) require a Provider/Contractor to provide a Managed Laboratory Service for the large majority of analyses performed within the NHS GG&C Laboratory Medicine Department across the full range of laboratory specialties. The maximum affordability limit for the total Contract (including any potential extensions and VAT) is PS447,936,000 and the Contract will be for the duration of a 7 year initial period with either the option to extend for 2 further periods of 7 years and 2 years or a single further period of 2 years only, with a service commencement date of 12th September 2023. NHS GG&C is the largest of 14 territorial NHS Boards in Scotland. It serves a population of 1.2 million and employs circa 39,000 staff. Therefore it is essential that the proposed solution to provide the Managed Service is customised to the operational and clinical requirements of all Departments. The individual requirements for the Procurement are:- - A - General - includes Board IT Requirements - B - Biochemistry & Immunology - includes electrophoresis & POCT - C - Haematology and H&I - includes electrophoresis & POCT - D - Genetics - E - Pathology - F - Microbiology, Virology and Reference Laboratories - includes POCT - G - Blood / Urine / Fluid Collection Systems - H - Ultra Low Freezers/Incubators/Centrifuges/Gases It is anticipated that the proposed solution will provide new equipment and therefore any costs related to this should be costed within the submission. Further information on the full services required can be found within the Tender pack and Providers wishing to express an interest in participating in this Invitation to Tender (ITT) should register their interest on www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk to access the documentation required to provide the Service. The ITT documentation should be completed and submitted by 5pm on 20th May 2022.

Therefore, bid submissions are required to be submitted slightly differently than as described in the Bidder Instructions. To ensure size limitations are mitigated, all Bid responses must be provided on a word document, containing a link to a Secure File Transfer, which should be uploaded to the PCS website. The word document should contain the name of the Supplier and third parties with a direct clickable link to the secure file transfer location. It is NHS GG&Cs preference that no password is used, however, if a password is required, then this should also be included within the Word document. It is the responsibility of the Supplier to ensure that the Link works and is accessible to NHS GG&C. Any responses received after the deadline of 3pm on 14th June 2022 will not be accepted. It can also be confirmed that any documents or bid submissions with time stamps after this deadline will be disqualified and Suppliers will be excluded from the Procurement process. NHS SBS on behalf of NHS GG&C will review time stamps when completing the tender download following the tender deadline. For the avoidance of doubt this decision has been taken to ensure the least detrimental impact on suppliers and to ensure fairness, non-bias, transparency and equality.
