This tender falls under the Health services industry category. The procurement stage is at the planning phase, with key dates including a virtual market engagement event on 20th March 2024 and a submission deadline for the market engagement questionnaire by 15th March 2024 at 12pm. This public procurement opportunity presents a chance for healthcare providers to offer vasectomy services under an NHS Standard contract worth approximately £500,000 per annum. Businesses in the healthcare sector, especially those experienced in providing specialised medical services, are well-suited to compete. The NHS is emphasizing that this current engagement phase is not a tender exercise but a way to gather feedback for future tender advertisements. ## Notice NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board (ICB) are considering a single Provider model to cover the entire population of NHS Sussex ICB (Brighton & Hove and East Sussex and West Sussex). The ICB is seeking the further views of healthcare providers in relation to vasectomy services in Sussex and has issued a new RFI (Request for Information) questionnaire to prospective providers. The service would be contracted using an NHS Standard contract, and would be for 5 years with a single extension option for another 3 years. The annual contract value would be circa PS500,000 per annum, so PS4 million across the maximum possible 8 year contract duration. The Commissioners are holding a virtual market engagement event on 20th March 2024. In order to book your place, please complete and return the market engagement questionnaire by no later than Friday 15th March 2024 at 12pm (Noon). Please complete the document and return your responses via https://healthfamily.force.com/s/Welcome by no later than Friday 15th March 2024 at 12pm (Noon). Additional information: This is a process designed to help the Commissioner form a view of the best way to commission the service and is not the beginning of a tender exercise. A further tender advertisement will be issued at the appropriate time if required. Feedback at this point will not have a bearing on any tender submissions that respondents may wish to offer at a later date in response to formal calls for tenders. No party will be disadvantaged which chooses not to respond to this RFI but it will be helpful to understand all views at this early stage, so all are encouraged to respond as fully as possible. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2da6a62-a63e-462d-87ef-6234cece3a37 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Provider Selection Regime - Competitive | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Feb 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Jul 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2033 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH, CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | LEWES | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN7 2FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Lewes | | Electoral ward | Lewes Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Lewes | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 29 Feb 2024 at 18:17 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2da6a62-a63e-462d-87ef-6234cece3a37 - 8 Aug 2023 at 12:32 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/005741e6-55c7-41e3-9670-237ecc5f5c22 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2da6a62-a63e-462d-87ef-6234cece3a37 29th February 2024 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/005741e6-55c7-41e3-9670-237ecc5f5c22 8th August 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome RFI and service specification ## Notice URLs - https://healthfamily.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.sussex.ics.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
