The procurement is currently active, with a deadline for submissions set for 19 February 2018. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 1 April 2019 and conclude on 31 March 2024, covering the East of England. The relevant industry category is identified under the CPV code 33692300, which pertains to Enteral feeds. This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers of nutrition products, medical equipment, and healthcare services, particularly those capable of providing ongoing nursing assistance and logistics for enteral feeding systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to participate in this tender. Businesses that can effectively demonstrate their capability to deliver high-quality nutritional products and supportive services for patients, both in hospital settings and at home, should consider competing for this contract to expand their operational footprint within public health services. ## Notice The Contracting Authorities are the South and Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Groups of Thurrock CCG, Basildon and Brentwood CCG, Castle Point and Rochford CCG, Southend CCG and Basildon CCG (the CGGs) and Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals, Southend University Hospital and Mid Essex Hospitals Trust- (the Hospitals) who wish to appoint a supplier of Enteral feeds, associated equipment and product related nursing services for patients that are registered with a South and Mid Essex GP or are inpatient in the hospitals. The Contracting Authorities manage the Enteral feeding needs of patients whether they are an inpatient or an out-patient and arrange for the appropriate Enteral feeding products to be supplied to their wards, community hospitals and hospices as well as to patients in their homes or usual place of residence. The community budget is retained by the CCGs rather than being delegated to South and Mid Essex General Practitioners (GPs) as this is an off prescription account. The contract will cover the supply of feeding pumps and their associated maintenance and support, the plastics and consumables for the Enteral feeding products, and nutritional products. In addition, the successful contractor will have the facility to offer on-going nursing advice and assistance to professional staff, patients, their family and other carers where necessary, the details of which will be explained further in the specification.
