This procurement falls within the medical insurance services category, and the tender period concludes on 29th June 2017. The contract is set to commence on 17th July 2017 for a duration of 24 months, with potential extensions of one to three years, ensuring continuity of coverage for the trainees, including essential legacy run-off provisions. The tender is located in Whiston, England, with specific considerations for flexible cover arrangements due to varying trainee numbers. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for insurance providers, particularly those with expertise in medical indemnity services, to partner with NHS SBS and support GP trainees. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions with a strong focus on cost-effectiveness and comprehensive service delivery will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, companies experienced in managing flexible and scalable insurance models to accommodate changing trainee demographics will find this engagement advantageous for growth within the public health sector. ## Notice Several years ago St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust moved away from a model for HEE NW whereby each individual Trainee had to purchase their own individual cover and then be individually reimbursed. Instead we procured 'block cover' for Trainees in regards to General Practice (or non NHS bodies) and we also have this arrangement in place for HEE WM and HEE EoE. We are now moving to have this 'block cover' model in place for HEE EM from 1st August 2017. St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust are therefore looking to work in partnership with an external provider who has the necessary competencies and commitment to deliver an excellent cost effective service both to the Trust and the Trainees. The exact details of the indemnity cover for this staff group are to be found in the ITT. 1.1 KEY POINTS This 'block cover' would cover GP Trainees for HEE EM from 1st August 2017. The tender will be effective for 24 months commencing the 1st August 2017; however with the option of a further one to three years contract extension. It is an essential requirement that the cover provided includes a legacy run-off enabling claims to be made against it after expiry of the cover for events that occur during these periods whether a claim comes in during the GP Trainees' employment, or further down the line after they have left our employment. All tenders must be based on a flexible attitude to numbers under cover noting that for example recruitment targets may not be hit, Trainees may leave, go out of programme, go on maternity leave etc. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/910d7c37-68b8-4a15-9f46-b3f140e74c01 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Jul 2017 - 30 Jun 2018 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | WHISTON | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L35 5DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | Knowsley | | Electoral ward | Whiston and Cronton | | Westminster constituency | St Helens South and Whiston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66512220 - Medical insurance services ## Release History - 16 Jun 2017 at 14:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/910d7c37-68b8-4a15-9f46-b3f140e74c01 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/910d7c37-68b8-4a15-9f46-b3f140e74c01 16th June 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=20526&B=NHSSBS Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/39 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
