This competitive procurement falls under the transport services industry and is primarily located in London. The procurement stage is currently in the Tender phase, with a deadline for submission set for 17th January 2020. The anticipated contract will commence on 1st September 2020, running for an initial period of five years, with possible extensions based on performance. The total estimated value of the contract is £64 million, and bidders may apply for either one or both lots, encompassing a range of patient transport services. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those specialising in non-emergency medical transportation and logistics. Companies that possess capabilities in providing tailored transport solutions for NHS patients, along with high-quality customer service and operational management, will find this an attractive opportunity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that meet the criteria have a chance to contribute to a vital health service, potentially expanding their reach and enhancing their reputation within the healthcare sector. ## Notice The ICS Collaborative is committed to providing a high quality, patient led service and this procurement is seeking to appoint either a single service provider, under Lot 1, to deliver all of the services for all of the contracting authorities that form part of the ICS Collaborative, or to appoint potentially 2 service providers or contracts; one service provider for NEPTS services for BHRUT and NELFT with some secure transport service requirements, and one service provider for secure transport for BEHMHT and C&IFT as Lot 2.

BEHMHT and C&IFT would consider appointing a separate provider under Lot 2 from the rest of the ICS. Each of the above Trusts will enter into a separate contract with the successful bidder(s) depending on which lot they enter into. There may also be primary care services that will require transport services as part of this contract.
