This opportunity is focused on the health sector, specifically on patient-transport vehicles, and is located in the East of England. The tender is currently in the active stage and must be responded to by potential providers as soon as possible. The deadline for tender submissions is set for 28 September 2019, with the contract period commencing from 1 October 2019 to 31 October 2019. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the healthcare and transport industries to expand their services by providing interim mental health transport services. Businesses with experience in patient transport or those capable of delivering high-quality health services would find this contract particularly suited for their service offerings. Engaging in this process could lead to further opportunities, especially as the long-term contract is anticipated to follow the interim arrangements, paving the way for sustained engagement within the healthcare market. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) are supporting the Norfolk and Waveney CCGs (the Commissioners, comprising North Norfolk CCG, South Norfolk CCG, Norwich CCG, West Norfolk CCG and Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG) who are arranging a framework for the provision of specialist mental health transport for their registered population and patients receiving treatment within the county. The Commissioners are inviting applications from suitably qualified Providers in the market to hold a contract for the interim service provision, whilst a competitive procurement process is underway for a long-term contract. The Commissioners require Providers to be reviewed utilising this application process before any contract can be issued, and before the Provider is able to undertake this service work on behalf of the Commissioners. Providers are requested to complete the attached documentation (embedded in the attached Word document), and return to agcsu.southprocurement@nhs.net as soon as possible (ASAP). If you have any queries regarding this process, then please contact the team via email at agcsu.southprocurement@nhs.net. Please note the financial values and dates included in this online notice are for purposes allowing publishing only; the resulting contract(s) will not guarantee any activity or income, and this interim provision will be open as to such time allowing for Providers to apply (bid) and provide work whilst the long-term contract is procured and mobilised. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/63849161-1950-4fe0-9317-b3ef5a56f723 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Interim Provision Framework | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 28 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2019 - 31 Oct 2019 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR7 0WG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Broadland | | Electoral ward | Brundall | | Westminster constituency | Broadland and Fakenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 34114122 - Patient-transport vehicles - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 28 Dec 2018 at 13:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/63849161-1950-4fe0-9317-b3ef5a56f723 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/63849161-1950-4fe0-9317-b3ef5a56f723 28th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b20c34d1-64cd-4449-8386-c488c58be52c FOR READING AND COMPLETION OF EMBEDDED DOCUMENTS ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
