This tender, classified under the CPV category of Endoscopy, endosurgery devices, is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 25th October 2017. The successful contract will commence on 1st January 2018 and last for two years, with the option to extend for up to four years total. The expected contract value is between £5 million and £10 million, with services primarily delivered at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London, and potentially at other locations such as Chase Farm Hospital. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in medical services, particularly those with expertise in endoscopy and related healthcare solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the flexibility offered by contract extensions and the emphasis on cost-effective service delivery. Companies that can demonstrate capacity and quality in healthcare provision, especially during weekends to enhance facility utilisation, will be well-positioned to compete for this valuable contract. ## Notice The endoscopy service at RFL would like to procure the services of an external supplier to provide endoscopy services to NHS patients on days and at locations, specified by the Trust. The purpose of this is in order to manage current activity levels and to ensure we have sufficient capacity to meet our predicted demand. This additional work will take place at weekends in order to maximise current trust facilities. The current expectation is that Endoscopy Insourcing services will be delivered at the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead site. However this may change during the life of the contract and services may be required to be delivered at other sites, for example at Chase Farm Hospital. The trust wishes to put in place a two year contract with the external supplier, with the option of 4 extensions in 6 monthly increments, to a total of four years. This will allow the trust maximum flexibility when planning for next steps following this contract.The trust requires the pricing for the services to be at or below tariff. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e21f08ad-3035-4507-adc7-66ae9d0cc144 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2018 - 31 Dec 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | 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 | ROYAL FREE LONDON NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW3 2QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Gospel Oak | | Westminster constituency | Hampstead and Highgate | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33168000 - Endoscopy, endosurgery devices ## Release History - 4 Oct 2017 at 08:46 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e21f08ad-3035-4507-adc7-66ae9d0cc144 - 4 Oct 2017 at 08:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e21f08ad-3035-4507-adc7-66ae9d0cc144 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e21f08ad-3035-4507-adc7-66ae9d0cc144 4th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=99300c47-b29e-e711-80e6-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.lppsourcing.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
