    "description": "We have created a preliminary market consultation document to engage with potential suppliers ahead of issuing the contract notice. The document includes an overview of the programme, an outline of the evaluation, and the scope of the contract; as well as additional details relevant to the tender process. The document also includes a Request for Information (RFI) which seeks information from supplies to identify any elements of the planned contract, including the service specification and evaluation questions, that can be altered. This is also an opportunity for potential suppliers to contact the programme team with any queries. Please note that a summary of any questions asked to NHS England and NHS Improvement will be collated and published (confidentially) to all suppliers in the interest of fairness, openness and transparency. The programme is still at approval stages and it may not result in a tender or contract opportunity, but we would welcome responses by 05/03/2021 so these can be incorporated. If you have any queries or are interested in this opportunity and are able to respond to the RFI document please email kristen.foerster@nhs.net and this will be circulated to you.",
