Lot Information

Lot 1

The Solihull Wheelchair Service (SWS) has been run by Solihull Metropolitan Council (SMBC) for a number of years. In November 2019, the Council indicated that they wished to exit the provision of this service as soon as possible. As a consequence the CCG is now seeking to re-procure this service in order that a replacement for SMBC can be put in place. NHS Birmingham and Solihull CCG (referred to as the Commissioner) are therefore inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering the Service(s), by responding to this opportunity as required and described in this document, and within the published tender. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the procurement process. Bidders should note that Clinical Commissioning Groups are currently in the process of being wound up and will shortly be replaced by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). Dependent on the timing of this, it is possible that the successful contractor will need to enter into a contract with either the newly formed ICB, or to enter into a contract with the current CCG in the knowledge that the contract will be novated to the newly formed ICB in the near future. Additional information: Bidders should note that the maximum contract length shall be sixty (60) months. This includes an initial period of thirty-six (36) months and an option to extend for a further twenty-four (24) months at the sole discretion of the Commissioner.

    "description": "Bidders should note that the Commissioner intends to include in the scope of this procurement a number of additional areas which may be subject to variation into the contract at a later date. Any payment for these additional services will be in addition to the maximum contract value quoted in II.1.5 above, and bidders will be invited to provide a cost for these additions as part of their Financial Model Template (FMT) submission. These areas are as follows: * Safety restraints (where no mobility issues are present) * Safety restraints (where the individual is a registered wheelchair user) * Power chairs for school use (with dual controls where required) * Attendant only power chairs * Wheelchair power packs Bidders should also note that the contract which is being procured also includes occasional use wheelchairs in its scope. It is expected that during the initial stages of the contract the retention of this service will be subject to public consultation. The specification (see appendix E of Schedule 2 of the contract particulars) includes a requirement of the successful bidder to keep records of the number of requests being made for occasional use wheelchairs in order that an informed decision can be made in conjunction with the results of the public consultation. In the event that a decision is taken to remove occasional use wheelchairs from the service, it is the intention of the Commissioner that an appropriate amount of funding, commensurate with the level of activity for this part of the service, will be varied out of the contract.",
