## Summary

The contract titled "Supplementary Patient Transport Service Re-Opening," initiated by Attain, aims to enhance Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services in the East of England, specifically for Mid, South, and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 21 November 2018. The project seeks to address gaps in capacity among current service providers and will be delivered under a Dynamic Purchasing System Framework. The classification for this service falls under Health Services, with the procurement method categorised as 'Other'.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in patient transport services. Companies capable of delivering critical care transfers or outsourcing services are especially well-suited to participate in this tender. Engaging in this contract not only aids in expanding service capabilities within Essex but also aligns with the increasing demand for responsive healthcare transport solutions.

## Notice

Supplementary Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPTS) for Mid, South & West Essex CCGs There are three main NEPTS providers across Essex. ERS serve Mid Essex, EEAST serve West and a combination of EEAST and Thames serve South Essex. Whilst over 90% of activity volumes are met by these providers, the CCGs are having to use a number of additional providers at short notice to supplement this provision. At present, this NEPTS activity is sourced from a small number of known PTS providers. The CCGs can sometimes struggle to fulfil the patient journey requirement, therefore are keen to increase this capacity through a Dynamic Purchasing System Framework.
