This procurement falls within the health services industry category. The geographical focus is on the North West region of the United Kingdom, with key engagement deadlines set for 23rd February 2018. Interested providers should note that expressions of interest must be submitted by 4pm on 5th May 2015 to Andrew Payne via email. The process was initiated with a Prior Information Notice to assess market interest and conditions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in health services, particularly those with experience in providing cardiology diagnostics or related healthcare technologies. Companies that can demonstrate competence in delivering 12-lead and 24-hour ECG services, along with the ability to comply with quality and safety standards, would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Potential providers should have the capacity to support primary care settings and be willing to engage in innovative approaches to service delivery. ## Notice This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN)/Request for Information (RFI) published on behalf of NHS Tameside & Glossop CCG (CCG). The purpose of this PIN/RFI is to gauge market interest and conditions for the provision of Community Cardiology Diagnostics Services. The CCG propose to extend the current community cardiology diagnostics pathway in order to procure two separate community diagnostic services: 1. 12-lead ECG's: Provision of 12-lead ECG equipment within the 41 practices within Tameside & Glossop; a facility to securely transfer data; provide external interpretation of the results by qualified cardiac clinicians; update the original referrer with the interpretation of the results; provide training to primary care to allow them to operate the equipment/transfer the results; provide results that will be suitable for use by secondary care clinicians. 2. 24hr / 7 day ECG's: Provision of 24hr ambulatory ECG equipment; logistics for a "locality model" to be implemented including arranging appointments; a facility to securely transfer data; provide external interpretation of the results by qualified cardiac clinicians; update the original referrer with the interpretation of the results; provide training to primary care to allow them to operate the equipment/transfer the results; provide results that will be suitable for use by secondary care clinicians. The CCG Commissioners are seeking responses from viable providers who can work effectively across Primary Care. Assurance of competence, quality, and innovation and safety standards are required. Potential providers are requested to respond to the following questions: 1. Please provide details of any experience you have in delivering/managing similar services. 2. From when do you have capacity to deliver the contract from. Please provide brief details on current and future capacity. 3. Please identify your current organisation structure (public limited company, limited company, partnership, sole trader, charity, other public sector organisation, etc). Potential providers wishing to express an interest in participating in the RFI and any tender process should do so by, emailing their interest to Andrew_payne@nhs.net by 4pm on 5th May 2015. Please note that an expression of interest in delivering one or both of the Community Cardiology Diagnostics Services is not a tender response. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the tender process nor does it infer any special status on those providers who do submit an interest. Potential providers who do not express an interest at this stage will still be able to apply in the future. All responses will be treated in confidence. This expression of interest does not commit the CCG to undertake the procurement of the Community Cardiology Diagnostics Services and the CCG has a right to withdraw the notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2dd5dbb4-6408-4376-ac04-f3f87504df03 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | 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 | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2dd5dbb4-6408-4376-ac04-f3f87504df03 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2dd5dbb4-6408-4376-ac04-f3f87504df03 17th April 2015 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
