This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 25 January 2019. The services, which fall under the Health Services classification, are intended for the South East region of the United Kingdom. The estimated value for this two-year initial contract period is £50,000,000, and interested providers are encouraged to respond by the specified deadline. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that provide healthcare services. Companies that can deliver innovative, efficient, and sustainable services in the nursing care sector would be well-positioned to engage with this tender. Moreover, the Commissioners seek insights from providers on quality standards and performance monitoring, making this an excellent chance for businesses to influence the service development process and establish relationships with key health commissioners in the region. ## Notice East Sussex Clinical Commissioning Groups are reviewing the way they commission services for those individuals who are eligible for fully funded NHS Continuing Healthcare. The views of current and future Providers are sought to help them to develop services that achieve excellent outcomes for Patients and at the same time deliver innovative, efficient and sustainable services for both Providers and Commissioners. Views are particularly sought relating to quality standards, finances, and performance monitoring. The Commissioners would like to thank all providers that have responded to the Request For Information (RFI) so far. In light of the Christmas period we would like to extend the deadline for responses to midday on Friday 25 January 2019 (Providers that have already replied to the RFI do not need to respond again, but can still request a telephone appointment, see below). In order to assist Providers with understanding and responding to this RFI, the Commissioners are making themselves available for a telephone conversation to take place during the week commencing 14 January 2019. If you wish to take up the offer of a phone conversation to discuss this further you can schedule a telephone conversation with the Commissioners by contacting 01323 466120 (option 1) and ask for a CHC reprocurement telephone appointment. This market engagement is being conducted on behalf of the East Sussex Clinical Commissioning Groups comprising: NHS High Weald Lewes Havens CCG, NHS Eastbourne Hailsham and Seaford CCG, and NHS Hastings and Rother CCG. The three CCGs are considering their approach to commissioning the services and wish to engage with potential providers by means of the attached Request for Information (RFI) document. As CCG commissioners we understand that your views are key to this process and would appreciate if you could respond to a set of questions (please click on the link below). Whilst this process is not the commencement of procurement your responses will help shape the future of the service. The deadline for receipt of your completed RFI return by email to aelliott1@nhs.net is 12:00 midday on 25th January 2019 . The estimated value for the envisaged two year initial contract period is PS50,000,000. This RFI process is designed to help the Commissioner form a view of the best way to commission the service and is not the beginning of a tender exercise. A further tender advertisement will be issued at the appropriate time as/if required. The attached RFI questionnaire and covering letter has been sent directly to existing Providers. Additional information: The Services to which this RFI relates fall within Chapter 3, Section 7, Particular Procurement Regimes to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Part H of the Annex V to the Public Contracts Directive (also known as 'light touch regime' formerly Part B services). The publication of the above advertisement shall not be taken to mean that the Contracting Authority intends to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Chapter 3, Section 7, Particular Procurement Regimes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9933090d-d067-4a3a-9bee-060febd35935 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Jan 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH OF ENGLAND PROCUREMENT CENTRE | | Locality | LEWES | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN7 2PB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Lewes | | Electoral ward | Lewes Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Lewes | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 24 Dec 2018 at 11:52 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9933090d-d067-4a3a-9bee-060febd35935 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9933090d-d067-4a3a-9bee-060febd35935 24th December 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a330d5b5-c03f-4912-b5ad-16d19578a63c Service Specification and Draft Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6ce696ae-485f-49d7-930d-1369a1a24e25 Request for Information response template - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3fb18c86-4a66-4dba-9c9d-07b6574eb880 Covering letter ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
