History: MKCCG ran a procurement process from July - Nov 2014 for a Milton Keynes Community Ophthalmology Service. The outcome of this process was that MKCCG was unable to award the contract. Full interim arrangements were put in place to ensure the continuation of the service while the CCG reviewed its options. Current Position: MKCCG has decided to trial an integrated model of care for Ophthalmology with its current provider, Milton Keynes University Hospital Foundation Trust, for a period of 18 months. The first 9 months [which commenced December 2015] is designed to trial the integrated approach, allow the service delivery models to be tested and confidence in the financial envelope. The CCG has committed to commencing procurement for Ophthalmology services for Milton Keynes in 2016. It is anticipated that this will be for a full managed care service, assuming positive outcome of the pilot, or for a service in line with the pilot project outcomes. Any information relating to this future procurement will be posted on Bravo in the usual way. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55cd94c6-8e11-4c73-8673-6c549ec1284f | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN3 6BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Boothville and Parklands | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2018 at 10:46 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55cd94c6-8e11-4c73-8673-6c549ec1284f - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5be85269-6b00-49f2-b462-348006a4ffd5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55cd94c6-8e11-4c73-8673-6c549ec1284f 8th January 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5be85269-6b00-49f2-b462-348006a4ffd5 17th December 2015 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
