The intended contract is valued at approximately £3.5 million per annum, with a minimum term of three years commencing from 1 April 2019, potentially extendable up to a maximum of seven years. An initial engagement event was conducted on 15 December 2017, and a follow-up Market Engagement Event is scheduled for 2 March 2018, where stakeholders can discuss the service scope and procurement details. Interested parties should note that expressions of interest for attendance at this event do not guarantee involvement in the subsequent tender process, and all relevant deadlines can be found in the attached documentation. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on renal care and dialysis. Providers with the capacity to operate within the light touch regime governing healthcare contracts are encouraged to consider competing for this contract. As the procurement process involves gathering insights from clinical and patient engagement, involvement in the upcoming engagement event can provide valuable information for shaping proposals. Businesses of varying sizes, particularly those with experience in delivering similar healthcare services, will find this a pertinent opportunity to expand and strengthen their market presence within the public procurement landscape. ## Notice Due to the upcoming expiry of the current contract, NHS England (South) is seeking to engage with providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver Satellite Renal Services for patients across the county of Somerset. This process is being carried out by NHS South, Central & West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. An initial Market Engagement Event was held 15/12/2017. The full service scope is currently being defined but as a minimum will include provision of renal dialysis at three satellite locations in the South West. The contract value is approximated to be around PS3.5 million per annum (dependant on final service scope) and will be contracted using the NHS Standard Contract. It is anticipated that the contract term will be 3 years minimum from 1/4/19 with an extension option at Commissioner discretion for any number of periods to a maximum of 7 years total. If the Commissioner chooses to proceed to procurement it is envisaged that the tender documentation for the procurement of these services will be available from April 2018. Following the success of the first event, a further engagement event will be held in Bristol on 02/03/2018, 10.15 to 16.30 with the aim of sharing output of clinical and patient engagement and the continuation of gathering information from stakeholders to use when shaping the procurement documentation. At the event an updated presentation will provide information regarding the proposed upcoming procurement and upon request attendees will be allocated specific individual Question and Answer time slots following this. To attend this event please refer to the Booking Form as attached to this advert, making note of the deadlines therein. In the event you are unable to attend but would like to receive a copy of any presentation materials, please email WH.procurement@swcsu.nhs.uk and copies will be sent to you. 6 sessions are available, and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis until all available time slots have been booked. Please note the attendance will be limited to 2 attendees per organisation, and the Commissioner reserves the right to reduce this number should venue capacity necessitate.
