This procurement falls within the health and social work services industry category, targeting various locations across the United Kingdom including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The engagement is currently in the planning stage, with an important deadline for interested providers to submit their responses to the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire by 26 February 2019 at 5pm. This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those experienced in respiratory and specialist medical services. Businesses offering expertise in managing complex health conditions such as Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, as well as those that have the capacity to establish service centres across multiple regions, will be well-positioned to compete. As the initiative focuses on optimising patient care and management for adults with this condition, firms that can demonstrate innovative care delivery models and have a strong understanding of multidisciplinary team approaches will find this an advantageous procurement opportunity. ## Notice External Reference TED Reference: 2019/S 021-045882 NHS England Specialised Commissioning is planning to commission centres to provide a Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Management Service (Adults) and is inviting all suitably qualified providers to complete a Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. Interested parties should respond to this notice as the responses to the questionnaire will be used to support the identification of the future commissioning route for the new service. The service aims to: 1) Ensure that all PCD adult patients, wherever they live, have access to and are managed according to optimal standards of care, by ensuring: a) Ensure that all PCD adult patients have an annual review by a specialist PCD MDT consisting of a PCD specialist consultant, physiotherapist, nurse specialist and ENT specialist with access to a dietician and psychologist as needed. b) Ensure that all PCD adult patients have access to appropriate home and inpatient antibiotic services c) Ensure that care and management of patients with PCD is coordinated so that patients receive appropriate respiratory, ENT, cardiac, obstetric and physiotherapy care, fertility advice, palliative care and care for other conditions associated with PCD. d) Ensure that patients/families and other health professionals are educated on the implications and management of PCD. 2) Raise awareness in the Adult Respiratory community about the diagnosis of PCD to ensure that these patients are transferred from bronchiectasis and other clinics to the PCD specialist service to monitor their condition and limit disease progression. 3) Reduce the morbidity and mortality related to PCD, as well as the economic burden, associated with late diagnosis and poorly managed disease. 4) Enter patients into a national database. 5) Collaborate with expert patient groups, patients, families and other stakeholders to monitor patient experience to drive service improvement.
