The Commissioners wish to consult with providers about their intended approach prior to commissioning the services and commencing a procurement exercise. The services are currently being provided in the health economy from a number of providers using locations in each of the three boroughs for the Community ENT service. This engagement will comprise Q&A's to gather feedback from providers on the draft specifications and cost of the service, the feedback may be used by the Commissioners to shape the way forward. Attachments are available to interested parties to further inform the submission of the questionnaire response. (1) Market Engagement Questionnaire (2) Draft Service Specification. Respondents are requested to specifically address the questions rather than attaching extensive technical or promotional information as such information will not be considered.
