This contract, valued at £1,500,000 and set to run from 1 October 2019 to 30 September 2024, is classified under business services and health and social work services. The procurement method will be an open procedure, with market engagement activities currently ongoing. Interested parties must submit their completed Market Engagement Questionnaire by 11 January 2019 to inform how the service will be designed and procured. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those with expertise in patient transport and logistics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage in this process, as the buying organisation is looking for qualified and experienced providers to help deliver health services tailored to the local needs of five CCGs in South West London. Companies that can demonstrate a track record in providing high-quality transport services for patients will be well-suited to compete. ## Notice Five CCGs in South West London (Kingston, Richmond, Merton, Sutton, & Wandsworth) have chosen to work collaboratively to maximise health outcomes for local patients. Kingston and Richmond CCGs are sharing single LDU led by a joint Managing Director. Non-emergency patient transport (NEPT) is a service for patients who are considered medically unfit to be transported by conventional means (i.e. own car, bus, walk, etc.) and require transport to or from their usual place of residence to a Trust facility, other hospitals, health centres, nursing homes and any other location deemed appropriate. The current arrangements across Richmond and Kingston CCGs are for patients to be assessed as eligible and provided with community NEPT. NHS Richmond & Kingston Clinical Commissioning Group (the Commissioner) is still finalising its decision as to how best to establish the above Service and is undertaking market engagement to seek the views and opinions of those organisations that may be interested in delivering the Service if it decides to procure the service. Please respond with your completed Market Engagement Questionnaire by no later than 11 January 2019, details can be found within the attached documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d28be06-09e2-4be1-9ec3-00887320c3ec | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Jan 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2019 - 30 Sep 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES | | Locality | TEDDINGTON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW11 8HU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Teddington | | Westminster constituency | Twickenham | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 4 Jan 2019 at 17:09 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d28be06-09e2-4be1-9ec3-00887320c3ec - 21 Dec 2018 at 12:49 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d28be06-09e2-4be1-9ec3-00887320c3ec - 20 Dec 2018 at 12:14 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d28be06-09e2-4be1-9ec3-00887320c3ec ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d28be06-09e2-4be1-9ec3-00887320c3ec 4th January 2019 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4003cec7-8817-4b4c-b9a6-ca74f04249bb Draft Service Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0343c3e0-bd5a-4393-90a0-aef5b09d462e Draft MOI - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/acf7e2a3-c17e-4ba3-af49-8f9bd93c983c Market Engagement Questionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3a3fed66-2d21-450c-90a9-25347c61e7d5 Request for Information Questionnaire ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
