## Summary

The NHS Shared Business Services is initiating a procurement process titled "Community Elective Services in Oldham", aimed at providing essential health services in the North West of England. This tender is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone, the engagement end date, set for 10th December 2021. The community elective services will commence operations in July 2022 and are intended to support various specialties including Cardiology, Gynaecology, Continence and Stoma, and Urology. The contract duration is likely to span five years, with a potential extension, resulting in an estimated value of £28 million over eight years, potentially rising to £56 million if expanded to other NHS Trusts. Interested parties should prepare to submit their responses by the stated deadline to express their interest in this opportunity.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health services, especially those with expertise in the specified areas. Suitable providers include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can deliver high-quality community health care. Engaging with this procurement process could allow these organisations to forge long-term partnerships with the NHS, expanding their service capabilities and market presence. Interested businesses are encouraged to review the available technical specifications and submit a Market Engagement Questionnaire to facilitate further engagement with the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group.

## Notice

NHS Oldham CCG is inviting expressions of interest from suitably experienced and capable providers, to provide Community Elective Services to patients registered with an Oldham GP Practice. Specifically, these services include Cardiology; Gynaecology / Ring Pessary; Continence and Stoma; Urology. These services will support people to remain well at home and in community settings close to home, supporting people to live independently. Services will become operational from July 2022. The future contract(s) is/are likely to have a duration of 5 years, with potential to be extended for up to a further 3 years - up to 8 years overall being possible. The modelled value of the intended contract(s) is/are circa PS3.5m per year to meet the needs of Oldham's population, with an overall contract value across 8 years potentially being PS28m. Additionally, the CCG is considering reserving a right to expand the scope and value of the contract(s) when established, so that other localities and NHS Trusts can also access the capacity to be offered through the services, as may be assessed as required by the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System. This has the potential to double the overall potential contract life value, i.e. up to PS56m. The following indicative annual values by specialty are relevant, these being modelled from 2019/2020 activity: Lot 1: Cardiology PS1.17m; Lot 2: Gynae PS0.44m and Ring Pessary PS68k; Lot 3: Continence and Stoma PS1.14m; Lot 4: Urology PS0.7m. Additional information in the form of a Memorandum of Information (MOI), Outline Service Specifications are available to review along with a Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) - see below. Interested providers should note that the CCG is reviewing what suitable NHS premises may become available to offer to the service provider(s), but also that providers will be free to identify their own premises, which will need to be appropriately accessible to Oldham patients. A competitive procurement is being assumed (subject to market interest and capability), which is currently scheduled to commence in January 2022 to enable a contract to be awarded by April 2022. Service commencement is anticipated by July 2022. The procurement plans to award up to 4 separate contracts, one for each of the above lots/specialties. Providers may express an interest to provide one, more or all of the services. Additional information: ***TO EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST and to COMMENCE ENGAGEMENT with the CCG, you are invited to access the Memorandum of Information (MOI) and Draft Outline Service Specifications, and then to COMPLETE a Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ) and return this ASAP by 12noon, Friday 10th December 2021.
