This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses aiming to grow within the health services sector, particularly those that provide specialised services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to benefit from this contract. Companies innovative in delivering quality care and capable of integrating services around patient needs may find a competitive edge, especially in light of potential new payment approaches and the focus on improving service efficiency and quality. ## Notice In 2016/17 NHS England set out our approach to ensure that prescribed specialised services are commissioned from the most capable providers through a rolling Strategic Service Review Programme with priorities published in commissioning intentions. From service reviews and from locally led change through sustainability and transformation plans, we expect there to be more networks of specialist providers and re-shaping supply models and contracting approaches to integrate care around patients. Service reviews will also provide opportunity for providers to propose sustainable solutions in line with clinically developed requirements. Service review implementation will also enable new payment approaches in order to incentivise improvement in care quality and patient experience. Where the relationship between quality, value and patient volumes is strong we expect there to be consolidation of some services as a consequence of undertaking reviews. In the London region there are 39 Lots. Detail on the Lots is contained in the Prior Information Notice (PIN) published via OJEU and is also available on the portal. NHS England 13 R London Commissioning Hub is signalling our intent to: * award whole contracts for 2017-2019 using the NHS Standard Contract to the incumbent providers without further publication, unless; expressions of interest are received from alternative economic operators * explore the opportunities for longer than 2 year contracts where this affords opportunities for significant improvements in service quality and efficiency facilitated by using the NHS Standard Contract option to extend term for up to two years.
