The process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement event scheduled for 25th January 2016 at Stoke-on-Trent CCG. Interested providers must register by 22nd January 2016 to secure a place due to venue capacity restrictions. The expected procurement method is an open procedure, aimed at identifying a provider or providers best suited to deliver high-quality transport services for eligible patients in the West Midlands region. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, especially those specialising in patient transport. Companies that can provide reliable, efficient, and high-quality transport solutions will find themselves well-placed to compete. The engagement event will allow potential providers to learn more about the commissioning strategy and service delivery model, fostering collaboration and enhancing service effectiveness. Hence, health service providers and transport companies should consider participating to establish connections and potentially secure contracts within the Staffordshire area. ## Notice Stoke-on-Trent CCG North Staffordshire CCG Stafford and Surrounds CCG Cannock Chase CCG East Staffordshire CCG South East Staffordshire and Seisdon Peninsula CCG Eastern Cheshire CCG/ Vale Royal CCG Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Partnership NHS Trust The CCGs/ SSOPT, as detailed above, intend to commission a Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service. The aim of this service is to provide a high quality care service for eligible patients with a genuine medical need from a place of residence to Primary, Community and Acute settings. The Commissioners are currently considering their options for commissioning non-emergency patient transport services across their localities. As part of this, they have embarked on a process to allow them to decide on the most appropriate route to identify a provider (or providers) most capable of securing the needs of service users, and of improving their quality and the efficiency with which they are delivered. Possible routes may include commissioning a service with a single provider for Staffordshire, or dividing the service into geographical LOTS. It is expected that this service will be procured using an open procedure. The Commissioners would like to invite any providers who might be interested in hearing about the Commissioners' collective service delivery model. In order to set out their vision and strategic priorities, the CCGs will be holding an information and engagement day on Monday 25th January 2016 between 10.30am and 12.00pm at Stoke on Trent CCG, Herbert Minton Building, 79 London Road, Stoke, Stoke on Trent, ST4 7PZ. The CCGs/SSOTP very much looks forward to welcoming providers to the event. If you are interested in attending, please respond by email to Elaine Butler (elaine.butler2@nhs.net), setting out the name of your organisation, the names of those individuals whom you would propose attend, and a contact email address and telephone number. Please note that restriction on capacity at the venue necessitates the need to restrict numbers attending to two per organisation, with a maximum attendee capacity of 25. We therefore ask you to register your interest early, in order to be assured places. The closing date is Friday 22nd January 2016. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20914f0e-5dfd-42d7-9859-f53f24af5343 | | 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 | 18 Nov 2016 | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STAFFORDSHIRE AND LANCASHIRE COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | STOKE-ON-TRENT | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST4 4LX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG23 Stoke-on-Trent | | Local authority | Stoke-on-Trent | | Electoral ward | Fenton West & Mount Pleasant | | Westminster constituency | Stoke-on-Trent Central | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20914f0e-5dfd-42d7-9859-f53f24af5343 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20914f0e-5dfd-42d7-9859-f53f24af5343 14th January 2016 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
