Summary of the contracting process

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of NHS England Specialised Commissioning, is planning to procure a specialised service for adults living with HIV in Suffolk. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a market engagement exercise to assess the capability and capacity of potential providers. The procurement falls under the health services category, specifically aiming at the provision of outpatient and inpatient care for HIV patients. Key dates include participation closing at 12pm on 23 August 2024, with a future notice planned for 30 September 2024. The anticipated contract start date is May 2025, and the service provision is expected to carry an annual value of £1.85 million, incorporating high-cost anti-retroviral drugs valued at approximately £1.2 million per year. The initial contract duration is four years, with possible extensions bringing the total potential duration to eight years.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those offering comprehensive HIV treatment and management. Both established health service providers and new entrants with innovative solutions for HIV care are well-suited to this opportunity. The specialised nature of the services, combined with the considerable annual budget, means that successful bidders will have the chance to both expand their market presence and contribute significantly to public health outcomes. Businesses capable of collaborative working, particularly with local Sexual and Reproductive Health services, and those ensuring accessibility for Suffolk residents, are encouraged to engage in this market exercise and subsequent tendering process.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NHS England would like to identify providers who are interested in the provision of an Adult Specialised Service for People Living with HIV (Provided in Suffolk) in line with the https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/New-HIV-prescribed-service-specification-version-4.4.pdf.

The aim of Specialised HIV Services for Adults (Outpatient and Inpatient Services) is to provide specialist assessment and ongoing management of HIV and associated conditions to support patients to stay well (reduced mortality and morbidity) and to reduce the risk of onward transmission of HIV. The service aims to ensure that the outcomes, wellbeing, and quality of life of adults with HIV are maximised.
HIV services are open access and any adults with a diagnosis of HIV can self-refer to a provider of their choice, regardless of their UK address. Any service diagnosing HIV in adults can refer to any specialised HIV service provider. Residential custodial settings and secure mental health care providers may have specific referral pathways in place.

HIV Specialised services will work to reduce morbidity and mortality, improve the experience of people living with HIV and work collaboratively across the whole pathway of care to reduce HIV transmissions.
HIV services are specialised services commissioned by NHS England on behalf of ICBs. Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services are commissioned by Local Authorities.
Whilst some of the elements of the two services are relatively discrete, there is significant overlap in others. Commissioners recognise the benefits of integrating Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services and HIV services.
The Commissioner therefore seeks a service model that fosters close collaborative working with the commissioned provider of SRH services.
Please note that services need to be accessible to patients residing in Suffolk.

The service is expected to commence in May 2025.

It is anticipated that the Service provision is expected to have an annual value of PS1.85m. This value includes the provision of High Cost Anti-Retroviral (ARV) drugs, which are valued at circa. PS1.2m per annum.

The anticipated contract duration for this service is 4 years, with the Commissioner having the option to extend the contract up to a further 2 + 2 year(s) (maximum contract duration 8years).

Documentation relating to this exercise including a questionnaire is available through the
Atamis (Health Family) portal. To register your interest and access the questionnaire, please
