This procurement, related to the health and social work services industry, is set in Leicester, England. The Market Engagement Event is scheduled for 8th August 2022, between 2 PM and 4 PM, and interested providers are encouraged to register by 5 PM on 4th August 2022 to participate. The engagement aims to inform potential bidders about the service requirements, including Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services and other specialised transport options. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those specialising in healthcare logistics, patient transport, and related services. Providers committed to delivering high-quality, personalised transport solutions and those equipped to handle non-emergency medical transport, renal dialysis transport, and emergency services would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with the commissioners at the Market Engagement Event will also offer networking opportunities and insights into the procurement process, allowing organisations to position themselves effectively for this contract and potentially foster long-term partnerships within the NHS framework. ## Notice Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (ML CSU) on behalf of the Commissioners, NHS Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Integrated Care System (LLR ICS) and NHS Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB), would like to invite providers to attend a 'Market Engagement Event' which will inform the market of the Commissioners' intentions to procure their Patient Transport Services (PTS), to include Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (NEPTS), Renal Dialysis Transport and High Dependency/Blue Light Transport/Bariatric/End of Life Transport. The aim of the services is to deliver high quality, dignified and safe patient transport to specific cohorts of patients, ensuring all eligible patients are able to travel in a timely manner, without adverse impact on their medical condition. The main benefits and expected outcomes are: person-centred and providers will need to be committed to the 'personalization' of the whole service(s) from the point of first contact when the booking is made, through to pick-up, relationship of the driver with the patient and escort (if applicable), journey to the destination, supporting the patient in preparation for their transport and arrival at home or nominated place of residence or other healthcare setting. The Market Engagement Event will take place in the afternoon of Monday 8th August 2022 from 2pm-4pm on MS Teams (invite link will be sent after registration). The Market Engagement Event will provide: - an overview of the service to be provided - details of the anticipated contract type, length and particular conditions - the structure of the new pathway for patient transport services in LLR - an overview of the procurement process and anticipated timelines - an opportunity for you to ask questions and feedback on the presentations.
