This procurement aims to extend capacity within the nursing personnel and medical services sectors at the Nottingham City Hospital Endoscopy Unit, located in Nottingham, England. The tender was published on 10th August 2018, with a closing date for submissions set for 31st August 2018. The contract is expected to start on 23rd October 2018 and last for an initial two-year period, with the potential for three 12-month extensions. The estimated value of the contract is £800,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on nursing and medical personnel supply. Businesses that are experienced in providing insourcing solutions, especially those capable of operating weekend services, would be well-positioned to compete in this tender. The procurement is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are encouraged to apply due to the strategic nature of this service provision. ## Notice Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) would like to procure the services of an external provider to provide Endoscopy insourcing services to NHS patients. The purpose of insourcing is to extend capacity and ensure that the Trust has sufficient capacity to meet demand. The additional work will take place at weekends in the Nottingham City Hospital Endoscopy Unit. NUH currently envisages that this kind of additional weekend capacity is likely to continue to be required for the foreseeable future and therefore would be seeking to award a contract for an initial period of 2 years with 3 optional extension periods of 12 months each. Additional information: This Activity is being undertaken as a "Light Touch" Tender Exercise as is permitted for the CPV codes associated with the proposed service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a794137d-d708-4fb9-8ec1-5e0e6407ab4e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 31 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Oct 2018 - 22 Oct 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAM UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS TRUST | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG5 1PB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Sherwood | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79624000 - Supply services of nursing personnel - 79625000 - Supply services of medical personnel ## Release History - 1 Nov 2018 at 10:39 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a794137d-d708-4fb9-8ec1-5e0e6407ab4e - 10 Aug 2018 at 14:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c977cb0-df10-4406-aeb1-81febdb48961 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a794137d-d708-4fb9-8ec1-5e0e6407ab4e 1st November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c977cb0-df10-4406-aeb1-81febdb48961 10th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://nhs.bravosolution.co.uk/nhs_collaborative/web/login.html Opportunity available via Bravo at the following link - https://www.nuh.nhs.uk/ Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust Website ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
