## Summary

The Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is initiating a tender process for the contract titled "External Quality Assurance", focused on providing external quality assurance for 1,345 blood glucose testing devices across the Trust. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a contract value of £120,000 and a projected duration starting from 4th July 2019 to 16th July 2021, including potential extensions. The contract falls under the industry category of medical testing equipment and is expected to have a geographical reach within the South East of England. A future notice concerning this opportunity will be published on 15th April 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in medical equipment testing and quality assurance services, especially those capable of accommodating growth as the demand may increase by up to 50% during the contract's duration. Companies that specialise in hygiene monitoring and testing equipment, as well as those that can provide comprehensive service capacity as a single lead provider, would find this opportunity particularly suited to their competencies. The nature of the services required also invites potential collaboration from qualified subcontractors, enhancing the project's appeal to a wider range of service providers.

## Notice

Throughout the contract duration, the awarded supplier will be required to provide external quality assurance for 1345 blood glucose testing devices in use across the Trust. Frequency of testing will be on a quarterly basis. The contract will be for an initial 3 year period with 1+1 extension options. CLCH is a community trust with a wide geographic area, which it anticipates will likely grow over the life of any contract, and is looking for a single provider (this means single lead supplier, as consortium bids or sub-contracting is allowed) within this area. The value of the contract may grow by up to 50% during the life of the contract and potential suppliers are expected to be able to meet his growth in demand.
