This procurement process aims to enhance specialist maternity care for women facing life-threatening complications associated with AIP. The engagement phase is set to conclude on 25th November 2020, with a virtual market engagement event scheduled for 2nd December 2020. Interested providers are encouraged to participate in the preliminary survey to inform the solutions being sought. The industry category for this procurement falls under health services, specifically addressing the complexities surrounding AIP care. This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers specialising in maternity and gynaecological services, particularly those with expertise in complex pelvic surgery and multidisciplinary care models. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in developing health networks and are capable of delivering comprehensive prenatal diagnosis and treatment will find themselves well-suited to compete. Engaging with this tender could lead to partnerships within a regional network aimed at addressing an increasingly critical healthcare need, fostering service innovation and potential growth in this niche sector. ## Notice NHS Arden and GEM CSU, on behalf of NHS England Midlands and East are looking to assist the Commissioner in scoping the sourcing of an Abnormally Invasive Placenta service. Abnormally Invasive Placenta (AIP), also known as placenta accreta spectrum, or accreta, increta and percreta, is a potentially life-threatening pregnancy complication with an increasing incidence worldwide. Given the complexity of the pelvic surgery often required at delivery, maternal morbidity is high. AIP services will provide specialist maternity care services for women suspected of and diagnosed with AIP as part of a regional network arrangement inclusive of local maternity services. This includes specialist prenatal diagnosis, risk assessment and definitive treatment of AIP by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in complex pelvic surgery. AIP Centres will have antenatal imaging (fetal medicine or radiology), adult intensive care, level three neonatal intensive care services and immediate access to blood products. NHS England are looking to understand how an AIP network could operate across the Midlands and wishes to speak with suitably experienced and qualified providers in order to assist with this work. Interested providers are encouraged to complete a survey which can be found on NHS Arden & GEM CSU's EU Supply portal. This can be reached here: https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicPurchase/35181/0/0?returnUrl=ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders&b=AGCSU. In addition to the above, a virtual market engagement event will be held on 2nd December. Full details of the event will be provided to those providers expressing an interest nearer to the date specified. Providers should express an interest in attending the event via the survey mentioned above. Feedback received via the survey will be discussed with providers at the market engagement event. The output of the event will be used to inform the way forward in sourcing a suitable solution along with informing the sourcing approach. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4f06482-1c48-49f2-9f9b-6af522bf5fa9 | | 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 | 5 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Nov 2020 | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS | | Locality | WEST BROMWICH | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B70 9LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG37 Sandwell | | Local authority | Sandwell | | Electoral ward | West Bromwich Central | | Westminster constituency | West Bromwich | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 5 Nov 2020 at 09:33 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4f06482-1c48-49f2-9f9b-6af522bf5fa9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4f06482-1c48-49f2-9f9b-6af522bf5fa9 5th November 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicPurchase/35181/0/0?returnUrl=ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders&b=AGCSU ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
