The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for January 19, 2024. Businesses interested in providing blood analysis or medical laboratory services should take note of this opportunity, with delivery addresses including various locations such as the United Kingdom, Europe, and British Oversea Territories. This tender by DHSC presents an opportunity for businesses in the blood analysis and pathology services industry to engage in the procurement process. The DHSC is seeking potential bidders to understand end-to-end pathology services and inform decisions for the digital NHS Health Check. Small and medium enterprises are particularly suitable for this tender, with a window for submitting the Supplier Questionnaire until January 19, 2024. Businesses with expertise in medical analysis services are encouraged to participate in this market engagement. ## Notice This early market engagement and accompanying attachments are being made publicly available to any organisations which are interested in the blood self-sampling/testing services for the build and private Beta phase of the digital NHS Health Check. This exercise is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to view and comment on the requirements for the blood self-sampling services for the digital NHS Health Check, if they wish to do so. This seeks to engage with the market to enable the Department of Health and Social Care (the Department) to: 1. understand more about existing end-to-end pathology services in England that can supply, distribute, receive, analyse and send results from self-sampling or self-testing cholesterol and blood glucose (HbA1c) kits that meet the requirements of the planned digital NHS Health Check. 2. inform the blood sampling/testing approach and a potential Invitation to Tender (ITT) to procure the required pathology services for the planned digital NHS Health Check Beta phase. Currently, the intention is to test blood self-sampling and/or self-testing as part of the end-to-end digital NHS Health Check pathway with a small number of eligible participants during the private Beta phase. However, this is dependent on if there are suitable services available that meet the programme requirements. 3. inform decisions on the approach to cholesterol and blood glucose sampling/testing for the digital NHS Health Check when considering rollout at scale. This Supplier Questionnaire is being issued in conjunction with the Developing a national digital NHS Health Check for local use: Blood self-sampling services Market Engagement Brief. You can select this link to access and register your organisation to the Atamis system https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome, if you have not already done so. The completed questionnaire should be returned no later than Friday 19th January 2024 at 12:00 and shall be submitted through the Atamis e-portal system. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0da7496a-3b09-454f-aeee-6bdfa10d2970 | | 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 | 5 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Jan 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 | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE (DHSC) | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 7UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85111800 - Pathology services - 85111810 - Blood analysis services - 85145000 - Services provided by medical laboratories - 85148000 - Medical analysis services ## Release History - 5 Jan 2024 at 13:48 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0da7496a-3b09-454f-aeee-6bdfa10d2970 - 4 Jan 2024 at 14:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64b6a250-792a-447c-80a9-ba9d32e3bfb0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0da7496a-3b09-454f-aeee-6bdfa10d2970 5th January 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64b6a250-792a-447c-80a9-ba9d32e3bfb0 4th January 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/31bcd4d4-bd14-496e-892a-70c17babb1e7 20240104 Pre-Market Engagement PIN - Blood Sampling Services - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/72492c7e-eb24-44f2-985c-fca6d31177e5 20240104 Blood Self-Sampling Services - Market Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/69897878-6fb2-4015-bdcc-7a96194b49ed 20240104 Pre-Market Engagement PIN - Blood Sampling Services - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dfc42981-bc2c-4f43-a390-1427b16b345c 20240104 Blood Self-Sampling Services - Market Brief ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
