This market engagement event aims to inform potential providers about the upcoming tender for the new contract due to commence after the current one expires on 31st March 2022. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in a virtual event on 24th March 2021, with registration closing at 4pm on 19th March 2021. The procurement falls under the healthcare industry, specifically in oxygen-therapy services, and will take place in the East of England, mainly focusing on facilitating the installation, maintenance, and servicing of equipment. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in healthcare logistics, medical equipment supply, and maintenance services, particularly those offering oxygen therapy solutions. Companies with experience in engaging with NHS procurement processes or those familiar with the specific needs of clinical care in the East of England will be well-positioned to compete. The early engagement preceding the tender allows businesses to better understand project requirements and optimise their proposals, potentially leading to fruitful partnerships within the healthcare sector. ## Notice The current contract for the East of England Home Oxygen Service is delivered by BOC and is due to expire on 31st March 2022. In line with the CCGs legal obligations against the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020) the CCGs will be undertaking a procurement process to appoint a provider to deliver the new contract. The East of England Region is made up of 15 CCGs which cover 6 Integrated Care Systems (ICS).
