This initiative, located in Keighley within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, aims to explore the market's capacity to provide medical services to approximately 6,697 patients. Interested parties should note that responses to the current Request for Information (RFI) must be submitted by 12:00 noon on 26 October 2020, following the release of documentation accessible from 12:00 noon on the same day as the notice's publication date of 28 September 2020. This procurement process presents lucrative opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, specifically those with capabilities in medical service provision. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to engage in this opportunity, leveraging their local insights and tailored service offerings. As the procurement is intended for information gathering rather than immediate competition, this exercise allows businesses to demonstrate their interest and readiness for future tenders, establishing a pathway for potential collaboration with the NHS. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement North East and Yorkshire (the Contracting Authority) and under co-commissioning NHS Bradford District and Craven Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) (the Commissioner), who are conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise in order to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to provide an Alternative Provider Medical Service (APMS) to be delivered at North Street Surgery, in Keighley. The current service has circa 6697 patients and a contract value per annum of circa 602,830 GBP (exclusive of QoF, directed enhanced services and any CCG commissioned local incentive schemes) 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 Official Journal European Union (OJEU) 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).

The RFI documentation will be accessible from 12:00 noon on 28 September 2020 and completed RFI responses must be returned by 12:00 noon 26 October 2020.
