The procurement is classified under health and social work services, specifically focused on delivering local consultant-led community services in Leeds, Yorkshire and the Humber. The tender is active and is currently at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 16 February 2018. The contract is intended to start on 1 April 2018 for an initial duration of two years, with the potential to extend for up to two additional years. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, specifically those offering ENT and audiology solutions. Companies that focus on consultancy-led healthcare, community health services, or those with experience in providing patient assessments, treatment plans, and follow-up care would be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the contract is accessible to a diverse range of providers. ## Notice There have been successful community consultant-led ENT services in Leeds for the past six years, and hearing aid provision and aftercare being delivered at a wide range of locations for the past three years. In line with the city's aspirations to continue to reduce attendances in secondary care sites where it is clinically appropriate and cost effective to do so, we wish to continue to provide services in these treatment settings, which provide more convenient access for patients. The principle aim of the service is to provide local consultant-led community ENT services for the diagnosis, management and treatment of ENT problems, which complement and work in partnership with existing primary, community and secondary care ENT. ENT: The community ENT service will deliver a range of services traditionally delivered in a secondary care setting for patients aged 5 years and above. This will include the provision of audiometry in support of medical consultation. The provider will ensure audiology services will be in place to support all ENT clinic sessions into which patients with ear or hearing problems are booked. The service is not commissioned to deliver those services which form part of the essential and additional primary care services, such as basic aural hygiene. The services provided will include consultation, diagnosis and treatment planning, together with onward referral if the indicated treatment can only be undertaken in a Secondary Care setting. All Leeds GP ENT referrals will be sent via e-referral to the Integrated Leeds ENT triage service separately commissioned by the CCG. This will provide an assessment and triage service which is led by an ENT Consultant and will triage all referrals within 2 working days Hearing Loss: The main components of the hearing loss service are: hearing assessment and aid fitting (where required), follow-up and aftercare services for adults with suspected or diagnosed hearing loss. This will be for routine patients only. Audiology services for children under 17 or for complex patients who have one or more of the exclusion criteria (below) are not covered by this specification and should continue to be referred or redirected to the appropriate service at a local NHS Trust. Providers need to ensure clear and formal accountability processes and structures are in place to ensure a safe, effective and integrated continuity of clinical care for all patients. The term of this contract will be on a cost per case basis as per the published tariffs. The Commissioners are currently considering new ways of commissioning and contracting for elective care and future arrangements for funding post 2020 are as yet not determined. This is being tendered as a single lot with providers delivering both ENT & Adult Hearing Services. Neither service can be delivered on its own. This is a 2 year contract with the option to extend for up to 2 further years (1+1) Additional information: How to apply: Potential Bidders are requested to register on the NHS Sourcing Portal (www.nhssourcing.co.uk) where the documentation is available to download under Project 21147 Costs are based on the full term of 2+1+1 (total possible 4 years) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2a73c98c-ab25-4d09-8cbc-a30ff5fcf414 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2022 | | 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 | EMBED HEALTH CONSORTIUM | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS16 6EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Weetwood | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services - 85110000 - Hospital and related services - 85120000 - Medical practice and related services - 85140000 - Miscellaneous health services ## Release History - 19 Jan 2018 at 12:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2a73c98c-ab25-4d09-8cbc-a30ff5fcf414 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2a73c98c-ab25-4d09-8cbc-a30ff5fcf414 19th January 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.nhssourcing.co.uk E-tendering site - http://www.embedhealth.co.uk Buyer details ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
