The procurement aims to identify suitably experienced providers to take over the service from late September 2019, as the existing contract will conclude then. A competitive procurement process is anticipated to commence in February 2019, with an engagement deadline set for 31st January 2019. The contract is estimated to be valued at approximately £1.8 million per year and will have a duration of three years, with a potential two-year extension. The service falls under the health and social work services category and is located in London, United Kingdom. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those focused on ophthalmology services. Companies that have experience in delivering community healthcare solutions, especially SMEs, are well-suited to participate. By engaging with the market engagement notice and submitting a response, businesses can influence how NHS Brent CCG might design its procurement process and potentially secure a lucrative contract that supports growth in the health service delivery sphere. ## Notice NHS Brent CCG would like to invite expressions of interest from suitably experienced and capable providers in the provision of a Community Ophthalmology Service for patients across Brent. There is an existing Community Ophthalmology Service in place which will reach the end of its contract term by late September 2019 which the CCG would like to re-commission. If a competitive procurement process were to take place, this will likely commence by February 2019. Documents attached provide details of the scope of the service - a draft Service Specification and an accompanying Memorandum of Information providing the context for this service. Whilst subject to change, the CCG's current intention is to offer a contract for 3 years (with the option to extend this by up to 2 years), with a new service commencing from late September 2019. The financial value of the contract is circa PS1.4m per year. To express your interest you are invited to complete the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire and return this by 12 noon, Monday 31st January 2019. Please email your completed response to ekkehard_kugler@nhs.net inserting within the email subject field "Market Engagement Response - Brent CCG Community Ophthalmology". Additional information: Whilst there is no obligation to participate through this engagement exercise, a lack of response may be used by NHS Brent CCG as evidence of a lack of market interest. Your response is therefore important to inform the CCG what the most appropriate process might be to establish a new a new contract. CONFIRMATION OF YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/76ffe8a0-4010-4f61-abe3-845175c91ff2 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jan 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M50 2UW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Quays | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 16 Jan 2019 at 12:23 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/76ffe8a0-4010-4f61-abe3-845175c91ff2 - 16 Jan 2019 at 09:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/76ffe8a0-4010-4f61-abe3-845175c91ff2 - 15 Jan 2019 at 11:02 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/76ffe8a0-4010-4f61-abe3-845175c91ff2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/76ffe8a0-4010-4f61-abe3-845175c91ff2 16th January 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e48fba57-fcc8-4a6d-bfa5-1b480e3ede12 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bf2b1908-4909-4637-9f26-2f159a5e5a7a MOI - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4b4d9c91-c671-4f4c-b779-3cb121bb6fe4 Questionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b14841d6-f156-4f56-9cba-8372b9675ac2 MOI ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
