This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry, specifically focusing on medical practice and related services. The tender is currently in the 'active' stage and is set to close on 15th November 2021, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2022 and running until 31st March 2025. The procurement method employed is the open procedure, creating a transparent process for interested bidders. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for existing tertiary neuroscience units that specialise in rare inherited white matter disorders. Businesses that have a proven track record in providing expert care in this niche area would be well-positioned to compete effectively. The procurement process has been designed to ensure that only those with relevant expertise and capability can bid, encouraging a high standard of service delivery while potentially expanding the market reach for successful providers. ## Notice NHS England Specialised Commissioning - Highly Specialised Commissioning Team (referred to as the Commissioner(s)) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering the Service(s), by responding to this opportunity as required within the published Provider Selection Process. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the provider selection process. This is a reopened ITT process, (the previous EU Supply project reference was 45233) to which some bidders have already responded. Commissioners have adjusted the financial model in the reopened process and provided greater clarity on how service activity will be funded. Previous bidders are invited to confirm the non-financial responses they have already submitted or amend these if they so wish. They are asked to respond to the new financial questions. New bidders are required to submit responses to all of the questions. The provider selection process is described within the documentation published. This Provider Selection Process has been advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (the "Regulations") to the extent that the Regulations relate to services within the scope of Schedule 3 thereto (Social and Other Specific Services). The Commissioner and AGCSU are, therefore, bound only by those parts of the Regulations applying to Schedule 3 services (also known as the "Light Touch Regime"). The key objective of the provider selection is to commission the Service(s) to serve the population of England. It is expected that expert care for rare Inherited White Matter Disorders (IWMDs) will already be being provided by the organisations which apply to this process and applicants will be able to demonstrate this. For this reason, applying organisations must be existing tertiary neurosciences units. This project is split into 6 Lots, as detailed within the ITT documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/402814bd-923b-4baf-91c4-5bb66b4c4417 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 15 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | 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 ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 6LH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | St George's | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services - 85120000 - Medical practice and related services ## Release History - 15 Oct 2021 at 12:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/402814bd-923b-4baf-91c4-5bb66b4c4417 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/402814bd-923b-4baf-91c4-5bb66b4c4417 15th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=39789&B=AGCSU Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/68205 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
