This procurement, currently in the planning stage, focuses on network services (classified under CPV code 32400000). The hospital, which serves a population of approximately 1.3 million and offers specialist orthopaedic surgery, seeks to bring all six of its external lines under contract, anticipating the addition of a new line dedicated to a future telephony project. Interested suppliers must respond to an online questionnaire via the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal (Atamis) by 15:00 on 11th September 2024. The milestone for engagement ends on the same day. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications and network services sectors, particularly those specialising in healthcare environments. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, as the contract is suited to smaller enterprises looking to expand their footprint in the public healthcare sector. By partaking in this project, businesses will gain a foothold in one of Europe's largest specialist orthopaedic units, potentially leading to further opportunities in the healthcare industry. Suppliers with strong capabilities in network solutions and telephony projects are well-positioned to compete successfully in this tender. ## Notice The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (ROH) is one of the largest specialist orthopaedic units in Europe, offering planned orthopaedic surgery to people locally, nationally, and internationally. Situated in the south of Birmingham, five miles from Birmingham City Centre, it provides services to a population of around 1.3 million. The ROH became a foundation trust in 2007. ROH currently has 6 external lines. Of these 6, 5 are currently under contract with all contract expiring within the next 2 years. This pre-market engagement exercise is to ensure all external lines are under contract, with the addition of a new line - this line will be purely for a telephony project that will be underway later this year. Please use the table within the Briefing Note to view our requirements (Please see below on how to access these documents). Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise and express an interest in this requirement should respond to the questionnaire via the online form on the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal (Atamis) by 15:00 on Wednesday 11th September 2024. https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome Please search for C303793 To View documents please register interest and then navigate back to the homepage and click "My Proposals and quotes" ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/934fd4fe-ef68-44cf-a91f-1432343f6896 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Sep 2024 | | 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 | THE ROYAL ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 1NU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32400000 - Networks ## Release History - 27 Aug 2024 at 12:36 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/934fd4fe-ef68-44cf-a91f-1432343f6896 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/934fd4fe-ef68-44cf-a91f-1432343f6896 27th August 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
