This initiative is focused on providing community MRI and ultrasound scanning services to patients across the Norfolk and Waveney region. The engagement period ends on 23rd February 2018, at 23:59, when interested providers must submit their responses to the Request for Information (RFI) to indicate their interest and outline how they could support this service. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000, and submissions should be returned to the contact point, James Savill, via the provided email before the deadline. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in imaging services. Companies that engage in the delivery of health-related services or have expertise in MRI and ultrasound technologies would be particularly well-suited to compete. This early market engagement invites organisations to help shape the future service provision and potentially participate in the competitive re-commissioning process once the initial RFI responses are evaluated. ## Notice Community MRI and ultrasound scanning services for patients across Norfolk and Waveney. The service is required across the 5 Clinical Commissioning Groups covering Norfolk and Waveney. Additional information: Norfolk CCGs are considering re-commissioning of community MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and ultrasound scanning services. We are engaging with the market to understand the interest of providers in this service and the way the service could be provided. Our initial approach to this market engagement is via a request for information where there in an outline specification and budget and a series of questions we would like answering in the Request for Information (RFI) document which is available from https://procontract.due-north.com/Login We require the RFI document from interested providers to be returned by 3pm on Friday 23rd February. There may be subsequent market engagement once responses to the RFI have been considered. The Commissioners reserve the right not to engage further following the closure of the initial RFI, or if undertaking a competitive re-commissioning exercise to only approach the providers who express an interest and respond to this notice to participate. We would like to invite any organisations who want to help us shape the future service provision, or who might have an interest in tendering for services to respond to the RFI documentation. The estimated contract value is PS1,000,000. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abcd12eb-e8e3-4ff2-8fce-19a65053364a | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 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 | NHS ANGLIA 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 - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 2 Feb 2018 at 16:34 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abcd12eb-e8e3-4ff2-8fce-19a65053364a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abcd12eb-e8e3-4ff2-8fce-19a65053364a 2nd February 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Login ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
