This procurement, classified under health services, focuses on managing urological conditions that do not require specialist secondary care in Gloucestershire. The current contract expires on 30th September 2018, and the new contract will commence on 1st October 2018, lasting for an initial three-year period with a potential two-year extension. Interested suppliers must express their intent via the In-Tend e-procurement portal by noon on 5th March 2018, with completed Standard Selection Questionnaires due by noon on 12th March 2018. This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, especially those with expertise in urology, to engage in a significant contract valued between £2,250,000 and £2,700,000. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include those offering integrated healthcare solutions, community health services, and minor surgical procedures. The selective procurement method suggests a competitive process, and with the Gloucestershire Health Authority's commitment to enhancing local healthcare delivery, successful bidders will play a vital role in improving patient care across the region. ## Notice Urology is a speciality specifically identified by the Department of Health (DH) as being suitable for the relocation of a large proportion of work from secondary to primary care under the 'Shifting Care Closer to Home' Policy. Urological problems are common and create a significant burden of work for primary care. The community urology service was commissioned to offer a single point of referral for all urology referrals for Gloucestershire patients. NHS Gloucestershire CCG (GCCG) wishes to re-commission a community urology service to manage conditions that do not require specialist intervention at secondary level. This will enable improved patient flow through urology services and support the management of an increasing demand for acute services. The current contract is due to expire at the end of September 2018. GCCG is looking for suitably qualified and experienced providers to continue with the provision and development of a range of high quality services which are currently delivered in the community setting. The service will offer assessment and treatments at clinics at several locations in the county under the care of a consultant-led team. It will also include the provision of minor surgical procedures. GCCG intends to award a new contract for an initial period of 3 years with option to extend for a further 2 year period. Organisations interested in providing this service should register on the In-Tend e-procurement portal (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/gloucestershireccg) and express interest no later than noon, Monday 5 March 2018. Associated Standard Selection Questionnaire (SSQ) documentation will then be made available for bidding organisations to access. Competed SSQ submissions must be returned via the In-Tend portal no later than noon, Monday 12 March 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/92f4ab91-40c2-4e59-930b-dccf86a51958 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 5 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2018 - 30 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,700,000 | | 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 | GLOUCESTERSHIRE HEALTH AUTHORITY | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL3 4FE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Tewkesbury | | Electoral ward | Churchdown Brookfield with Hucclecote | | Westminster constituency | North Cotswolds | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 5 Feb 2018 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/92f4ab91-40c2-4e59-930b-dccf86a51958 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/92f4ab91-40c2-4e59-930b-dccf86a51958 5th February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/gloucestershireccg ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
