The procurement process targets the vehicle bodies, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, classified under CPV code 34200000, with additional focus on health services (CPV code 85100000). Located in Chester, England, this initiative is currently in the tender stage, using a restricted procedure that is above the threshold. The key deadlines include the tender period closing on 15th July 2024, with the contract period starting from 29th July 2024 to 28th July 2028. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth by offering several Lots for leasing, purchasing, or managing mobile diagnostic and treatment units, allowing suppliers to address NHS's increasing demand for accessible medical services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially suitable due to the procurement's inclusive approach. Businesses involved in the manufacturing or provision of mobile medical units, diagnostic services, and related support services will find this tender particularly beneficial, enhancing their market presence and fostering meaningful collaborations with public healthcare institutions. ## Notice This DPS will offer mobile diagnostic and/or treatment units to healthcare and/or other organisations in the UK public sector. These units within the NHS would increase capacity within organisations to help facilitate the delivery of the elective programme and to help with waiting lists, patient backlogs and lack of staff availability/space. Suppliers would work closely with healthcare organisations to deliver easily accessible treatments or diagnostics, either on hospital sites or closer to patients homes in more remote areas (for example at supermarkets, GP practices etc.). By working with healthcare organisations, suppliers will relieve pressure on services by improving access to treatments and bed space, reducing patient waiting times and freeing up clinical capacity. Units are usually provided in the form of vans or non-permanent units/cabins. The DPS will be in three Lots: Lot 1 - Hire or Lease of Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) Lot 2 - Purchase of Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) Lot 3 - Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) as a Managed Service Applications may be made to one or more Lots.
