## Notice

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) provides initial information regarding a public consultation and potential tendering opportunity for the provision of Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy Services (Intracranial) (SRS/SRT) in England. Public Consultation NHS England (NHSE) took responsibility for commissioning SRS/SRT in April 2013. A national review of these services, carried out in 2013/14, identified a number of options for change in order to ensure consistent commissioning arrangements across England. These options were the subject of a public consultation. Feedback received from the consultation enabled NHSE to develop a new service model for the delivery of these services. In order to implement this model, NHSE will need to make changes to the currently published service specification, and are therefore running a public consultation between 24 July - 13 October 2015. NHSE want to ensure that all those with an interest in SRS/SRT services, and in particular those that are potentially affected by the proposals have the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes; & therefore encourages all interested providers to participate in the above mentioned public consultation. Further details can be found: https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/srs-srt_service_revision/consult_view Procurement It is expected that NHSE will publish, following completion of the public consultation, a voluntary Contract Notice for the provision of SRS/SRT services, in autumn 2015.

By virtue of Regulation 120(1)(a) of PCR2015, the requirements of PCR2015 do not apply to procurements of health services under the National Health Service Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition (No.2) Regulations 2013 (NHS Regulations) which are commenced prior to 18 April 2016. Therefore any procurement commenced in relation to these services will be subject to the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended)(PCR2006) in so far as they apply to Part B services and the provisions of the NHS Regulations. Important Information NHSE reserves the right to withdraw from the process at any time or to not tender the service.
