This initiative aims to procure PET-CT services and tracer supplies, specifically in the health services sector. The planning stage is underway, with an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. The geographical delivery addresses span several regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in diagnostic supplies, radioactive materials, and health services. Companies involved in the manufacture or supply of PET-CT services and tracers are encouraged to engage, particularly as NHS England seeks feedback on subcontract terms. This market engagement provides a unique platform for potential suppliers to share insights that could influence future procurement processes, enhancing competitive positioning within the healthcare supply chain. ## Notice Arden & GEM CSU on behalf of NHS England - Specialised Commissioning would like to notify all potential bidders about a market engagement process between 24th April 2017 and 19th May 2017 and its intent to procure: 1. PET-CT Services; and 2. The supply of tracers for PET-CT Services via two separate procurements. * The PET-CT Phase II procurements will relate to those PET-CT services not encompassed by the Phase I procurement and are expected to commence in late June / early July 2017. * Each procurement will consist of eleven lots and the lots will be geographically defined. The procurements will include limits on the maximum number of lots / activity awarded to a single bidder. * The procurement for tracer supply is anticipated to utilise the Open procedure, whilst the procurement for PET-CT Services is anticipated to utilise a bespoke procedure under Regulations 74 to 76 - the 'light touch' regime. * The contracts awarded via each procurement are expected to have an initial term of seven years, with an option for NHS England to extend for a further three years. * The PET-CT activity to be included within the Phase II procurements accounts for circa 50% of the total PET-CT activity in England. The modelled number of scans per lot varies between circa 2,000 and 12,000 in year one. * It is currently anticipated that the PET-CT Services contract will utilise the NHS Standard Contract and the tracer supply contract will be a sub-contract to the PET-CT Services contract. * Prior to commencing the procurements, Arden & GEM CSU on behalf of NHS England Specialised Commissioning would like to receive feedback from interested organisations regarding the terms they would expect to see in a subcontract for the supply of tracers between an organisation manufacturing the tracers and an organisation providing PET-CT services. * Feedback is welcomed from both providers of PET-CT services and suppliers of tracers. This is likely to be the only opportunity for potential suppliers to provide input in respect of the subcontract terms. If your organisation is prepared to participate in this market engagement, please email your organisation's and contacts details to: mark.perkins@nhs.net * Once you have confirmed your willingness to participate, a short briefing note and questionnaire will be provided for completion and return on or before 19th May 2017. Additional information: The National Health Service Commissioning Board is the Contracting Authority. The Board uses the operational name 'NHS England' NOTE: An expression of interest in this Market Engagement will not automatically entitle your involvement in any future procurement exercise. Any procurement conducted as a result of this event will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement as and when it is published. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8bb598c0-aa1e-47b7-8645-511386afd166 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 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 | Cancelled | | 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 | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE1 3QT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Darley | | Westminster constituency | Derby North | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 09343000 - Radioactive materials - 09344000 - Radio-isotopes - 33124130 - Diagnostic supplies - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2018 at 11:14 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8bb598c0-aa1e-47b7-8645-511386afd166 - 21 Apr 2017 at 13:38 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/82b8d212-a6e5-424f-859a-b0ca147d7536 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8bb598c0-aa1e-47b7-8645-511386afd166 8th January 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/82b8d212-a6e5-424f-859a-b0ca147d7536 21st April 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
