This procurement will cover various healthcare services, particularly focusing on employee relocation and supply services for medical personnel across the UK. The planned budget for this initiative spans from £5 million for the 2017/2018 period to £12.5 million for both the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 periods. Key dates include a pre-ITT launch conference call for potential suppliers on the week commencing 24th July 2017, with final registrations due by 12:00 on 19th July 2017. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment and training services, especially those experienced in sourcing and integrating medical professionals from abroad. Companies that can support NHS England's goal of attracting qualified GPs while offering cultural and pastoral support stand to benefit the most. Given the emphasis on small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this procurement could be an entry point for smaller firms eager to expand their operations in the healthcare sector. ## Notice NHS England is pleased to confirm that it is close to launching the Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the International Recruitment of GPs Framework. We anticipate that it will issue a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and undertake an open procedure procurement exercise. We envisage that this process will commence during August 2017. Bid submissions from organisations seeking to be part of the Framework must be submitted within 30 days. The ITT bid response deadline is expected to be in September 2017. NHS England invites organisations to attend a pre-ITT launch conference call to provide an update on the proposed framework agreement and to explain the timelines that will apply to the procurement process. Suppliers are invited to register their interest in attending a pre-ITT launch conference calls schedule to take place week commencing Monday 24th July 2017: Places will be limited as follows: * A maximum of x2 attendees only per supplier. To register suppliers will be required to: * Register via e-mail to england.intrecruitment@nhs.net * Confirm which organisation it is representing; * Provide the contract details of a maximum of two representatives to join the call (i.e. Name, Job title, E-mail address and Phone Number for each requested attendee); and Final registrations must be received by no later than 12:00 on Wednesday 19th July 2017. Failure to register in time or to follow the instructions outlined above may see your registration request declined or not responded to. NHS England will confirm conference call details with all suppliers who have registered correctly and their nominated representatives by 12:00 on Friday 21st July. GENERAL NOTES: 1. Organisations who have already registered with NHS England via its e-tendering portal and responded to the Request for Information exercise held earlier this year for the International Recruitment of GP's Framework, do not need to register again.
