Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group, supported by North of England Commissioning Support, is conducting a planned Request for Information (RFI) for Podiatry Services, focusing on complex and non-complex patient care in the South Tyneside and Sunderland areas. The RFI documentation will be available from 12 August 2021, with responses required by 5pm on 25 August 2021. This procurement falls within the health services category, and the future commissioning may transition to Integrated Care Systems due to pending legislation changes, expected to take effect from 1 March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in the delivery of podiatry care. Companies capable of providing services to both complex and non-complex patients would be well-placed to engage with the procurement process. While this current RFI is not a call for immediate competition, it serves as a precursor to future contracts and allows interested providers to align their services with the needs and expectations outlined by NHS authorities, particularly concerning the new Social Value Model.

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: Any future procurement for Podiatry will incorporate the UK Governments new Social Value Model and the RFI specifically requests potential providers views on Social Value in relation to Podiatry Services.
