This open procurement will commence shortly and is anticipated to fill service gaps in areas where there is currently inadequate coverage. The deadline for tender submissions is noon on 23rd September 2016, with contracts expected to run from December 1, 2016, to September 30, 2018, including a potential one-year extension. The primary industry focus is on medical practice and related services, and services will be required to manage a caseload exceeding 40 patients at single or multi-provider facilities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those that can provide accessible, community-based anticoagulation care. Organisations that offer a 'one-stop' service enabling sampling, testing, and dose adjustments in a single appointment, particularly with access options outside traditional hours, would be ideally suited for this procurement. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the inclusive nature of the bidding process aimed at enhancing local healthcare delivery. ## Notice NHS Bedfordshire CCG (BCCG), is planning to run an Invitation to Tender (ITT), procurement process starting in the next few weeks to secure more capacity for community-based anticoagulation services in a number of localities in Bedfordshire. There are already about 25 GP practices that monitor INR levels for their own patients on warfarin. However, BCCG have identified some communities where there is inadequate or no local coverage. It should be noted that * The existing contracts with GP practices, the Bedford Warfarin Service and at acute hospitals that cover the current anticoagulation service will remain in place. * BCCG anticipate building capacity to the level of 1000 extra patient caseload * That any new provider would need to manage at least a caseload of greater than 40 patients. Localities have been identified where this is possible. * That the service provided would be a level 4 and 'one-stop' service, i.e. that the provider must be able to sample, test, and adjust dosage of warfarin all at one visit, and communicate changes to the patient's GP * That access outside of 'office hours' and 'drop-in' appointments are an essential requirement. * Services will be required for the following lots in localities stated (see specification for full details). * The new contracts are anticipated to run for 24 months with a possible extension for a further 12 months (still subject to confirmation). Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group wish to establish a single Provider / multi-Provider contract for the provisions of Community based Anticoagulation Services.
