This procurement process is focused on the medical equipment industry, specifically imaging equipment, and is taking place in Great Yarmouth, England. A key date to note is the engagement end date, which is set for 26th October 2018. This initiative aims to assess the feasibility and costs associated with managing crucial diagnostic imaging equipment through a Managed Equipment Service rather than traditional capital and revenue models. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the healthcare technology and managed services sectors. Companies that can offer innovative imaging solutions, maintenance support, and efficient service delivery are well-suited to compete. By participating in this tender, suppliers can potentially secure a contract for providing high-standard diagnostic imaging services and contribute to improving clinical outcomes for patients while also enhancing their market footprint. ## Notice The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH) is investigating the feasibility and costs of managing key Diagnostic Imaging (Radiology) department equipment as a Managed Equipment Service (MES), in comparison to a conventional capital and revenue based model. The Trust anticipates that moving to an MES will bring with it a number of benefits: * Outsourcing of non-core Trust activities (typically support & maintenance). * Transfer of equipment risk to a third-party organisation better able to manage it. * Allows the Trust to concentrate on providing a high standard of clinical services to patients. * Access to high standards of equipment, reducing clinical risk and increasing productivity. It is assumed the MES supplier will finance the cost of the MES and be able to provide a high standard of service at a cost effective price. The Trust will pay a single monthly unitary charge for the service. The MES contract is assumed to start in 2019. Requirements: An outline set of requirements for the MES are detailed in the attached Requirements Specification document and should be read in conjunction with the Request for Information (RFI) document and the JPUH MES Equipment List to build a good understanding of the needs of the Trust. 3. Request for Information In order to inform and enhance the development of the Managed Equipment Service requirement, and to obtain information for the business case, JPUH is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to the market. The RFI is an opportunity for prospective suppliers to provide information, feedback and observations which will ensure the Trusts' requirements are 'market ready' prior to undertaking any formal procurement exercise. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea3d5696-d7ce-4bac-b49b-e7a9ecab66e9 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Sep 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Oct 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 | JAMES PAGET UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | GREAT YARMOUTH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR31 6LA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Great Yarmouth | | Electoral ward | Magdalen | | Westminster constituency | Great Yarmouth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33110000 - Imaging equipment for medical, dental and veterinary use ## Release History - 13 Sep 2018 at 08:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea3d5696-d7ce-4bac-b49b-e7a9ecab66e9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea3d5696-d7ce-4bac-b49b-e7a9ecab66e9 13th September 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b2446b61-457b-4208-a576-7636ebc24006 Request for Information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/34184bae-7b1f-420b-8fd4-c116a66228c4 JPUH MES Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/74902487-6584-414e-b2a6-a19744f8ca3c JPUH MES Equipment List ## Notice URLs - http://www.jpaget.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
