This competitive procurement is currently in the Tender stage and will culminate in a contract awarded to the highest scoring supplier for three identified lots: UCLH Managed Services, Managed Services, and Radiopharmaceutical Consumables. The tender period closes on 16th September 2019, and the resulting contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2020, running through to 31st March 2030. The procurement method employed is a selective negotiated procedure within the healthcare services industry. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the nuclear medicine and healthcare supply sectors, particularly those who can provide innovative and flexible services. It is particularly well-suited for suppliers offering managed services and radiopharmaceutical consumables that can meet the stringent requirements of NHS Trusts. Given the emphasis on on-site production and quick turnaround for isotopes, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with capacity to deliver specialised services in a partnership-oriented manner would be especially competitive in this procurement process. ## Notice University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the "Authority"), is issuing this tender in connection with a Competitive with Negotiation Procedure Procurement for the Provision of a Framework Agreement for Nuclear Medicine Radiopharmacy Services and Consumables for University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the "Contract"), and the subsequent call off of Radiopharmacy Services and Consumables(the "Call Offs") from the Contract by the Authority. This procurement and resulting single supplier Framework Agreement contains three lots: Lot 1: UCLH Managed Services Lot 2: Managed Services Lot 3: Radiopharmaceutical Consumables The highest scoring supplier will be awarded all three lots, resulting in a single supplier Framework Agreement.Where the Authority wishes to call off from this Framework Agreement, a separate contract will be entered into for the services under each lot. The Framework Agreement will be available to the Authority and all other NHS Trusts. For a detailed list of all NHS Trusts please see https://www.nhs.uk/servicedirectories/pages/nhstrustlisting.aspx. UCLH provides first-class acute and specialist services in six hospitals in central London. During 2019 and 2020 UCLH will be opening two new hospital sites: Opening in September 2019, a specialist centre for services currently at the Eastman Dental and Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospitals.Opening in 2020, a new facility which includes Europe's largest centre for blood disorders, short stay surgery and a national proton beam therapy centre. Further information relating to the non-PFI estate can be found in the data pack issued with this ITPN and in the Service Matrix. The Institute of Nuclear Medicine (INM) carries out radionuclide imaging investigations and therapies for the purposes of clinical diagnosis, treatment and research. It is the largest single site department in the UK and currently undertakes some 17,000 studies per annum. INM provide a wide range of "state of the art" nuclear medicine imaging services including: * General nuclear medicine including in-vitro tests; * Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) / with x-ray Computed Tomography (CT) (SPECT/CT); * Ultra-fast dedicated cardiac SPECT; * Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT); * Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) (first in the UK) In addition, INM also perform a range of routine and experimental inpatient and outpatient radionuclide therapy procedures, with access to ten dedicated radionuclide therapy beds. The Authority is looking to enter into a new contract that is able to provide an innovative and flexible approach. It is seen as imperative that there is an on-site element to this contract in order to maintain an efficient and effective working partnership with tangible benefits for both parties. In particular certain isotopes would continue to benefit form on site production due to their limited shelf life. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed953617-a9d3-4238-8ced-552e38cd9f9a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 16 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000,000 | | 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 | UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (UCLH) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W1T 7NF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85149000 - Pharmacy services ## Release History - 19 Aug 2019 at 16:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed953617-a9d3-4238-8ced-552e38cd9f9a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed953617-a9d3-4238-8ced-552e38cd9f9a 19th August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.uclh.nhs.uk - https://www.nhs.uk/servicedirectories/pages/nhstrustlisting.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
