This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, and submissions must be received by 22 December 2017. The estimated contract value ranges from £160,000 to £170,000 and is expected to commence on 2 February 2018, running through to 1 February 2020. The service is primarily based in Bristol but also extends to Weston-Super-Mare. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in healthcare services, particularly those providing wig fitting and related support. Companies with expertise in supplying medical equipment and services, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and organisations with experience catering to healthcare providers are well-suited to compete. The open procurement method encourages a broad range of suppliers to participate, potentially boosting their growth by securing a contract with a large NHS Trust. ## Notice University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country, and the major teaching and research centre for the South West of England. The Trust provide general medical and emergency services to the local population of Central and South Bristol, and a broad range of specialist services across a region that extends from Cornwall to Gloucestershire, into South Wales and beyond. Tenders are invited for the Provision of Wigs contract, which involves provision of a comprehensive wig fitting service for circa 450 Haematology and Oncology and 500 Dermatology patients per annum. The service currently provides a wig consultant 2.5 days per week, split across Haematology and Oncology (2 days) and Dermatology (0.5 days), with the majority of appointments as outpatients, and the occasional inpatient appointment. The service is also looking for an at-salon solution in the BNSSG area that allows the patients access to a wig cutting service onsite at an arranged appointment or at a salon in the BNSSG area. (This could include a concession at a local salon) In addition, the service provides wig-fitting support to Dermatology patients at Weston General Hospital, an NHS district general hospital in the town of Weston-Super-Mare, North Somerset, England operated by Weston Area Health NHS Trust. Please note the Wig fitting service operated by Bristol Royal Hospital for Children is a separate service and is not included in this contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e24c740-8679-4c59-983d-2d9c864e69ad | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 22 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Feb 2018 - 1 Feb 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £170,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH WEST - ACUTES | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 2NT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33711630 - Wigs ## Release History - 4 Dec 2017 at 19:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e24c740-8679-4c59-983d-2d9c864e69ad ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e24c740-8679-4c59-983d-2d9c864e69ad 4th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=20959&B=NHSSW Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/45644 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
