This initiative is focused on enhancing transport services within the South West of England and aims to develop a cohesive transport system in collaboration with local authorities, including Bournemouth Borough Council and Dorset County Council. Key deadlines include the engagement end date set for 10th July 2018, with a market engagement event scheduled to take place on 17th July 2018 at The Hamworthy Club, Wimborne, Dorset, commencing at 9:30 am. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the transport services sector, particularly those specialising in non-emergency patient transport, ambulance services, and community transportation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to participate, as the CCG encourages further engagement from qualified providers. By participating in this procurement process, businesses can not only contribute to improving local transport infrastructure but also potentially secure contracts that can facilitate growth and expansion within the regional healthcare transport market. ## Notice NHS Dorset's Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) would like to invite qualified providers to help develop an integrated transport system service model for Dorset. The CCG is working with Bournemouth Borough Council, Dorset County Council and the Borough of Poole to investigate the potential to join-up transport commissioning and provision between the NHS and Local Authorities. Each organisation commissions and/or provides a significant amount of transport. The CCG commissions Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPTS) for eligible patients for some clinical appointments. Co-ordination with other forms of transport need to be considered: * Ambulance Services - Commissioned by the CCGs as part of a South West regional contract. These services will not be part of any integrated transport system for NEPTS however there will be interaction between these forms of transport for patients * Mental Health Transport - Commissioned by the CCG/Local Authorities dependent on need and degree of urgently. Secure mental health transport is currently provided by a preferred private provider for the CCG. * Social Care Transport (Adults & Children - including Home to School) - Commissioned and/or provided by Local Authorities. * Community Transport Services - These services are self-supporting with some grant funding available from local authorities. * Public Transport Services - These services are generally operated by commercial transport operators, sometimes subsidised by the Local Authorities. An event will be held on Tuesday 17th July 2018 at The Hamworthy Club, Magna Road, Canford Magna, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21 3AP and will open from 9.15 am commencing at 9.30am. The event will begin with presentations followed by a workshop to help develop potential options. Lunch will be provided. If you are interested in attending this event or are unable to attend but would like information sent to you, please express your interest by completing the attached form and emailing it to: DorsetProcurement@Dorsetccg.nhs.uk no later than Tuesday 10th July 2018. Participants should note that the CCG reserves the right to use any information shared within this market engagement event to develop a mature service specification for future procurement purposes. Any costs incurred by participating in this exercise must be borne by the participating organisations. Following this workshop the CCG shall determine how it will approach the market to secure the services.
