This open procurement process is in the tender stage, having been published on 12th July 2021, with a deadline for submissions set for 31st August 2021. The service is divided into six lots, covering various regions, and will span a contract period from 1st April 2022 to 1st April 2025. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category. This tender represents a significant opportunity for established tertiary neurosciences units experienced in managing inherited white matter disorders, allowing them to expand their services and solidify their position in the healthcare sector. Providers interested in this tender should demonstrate a proven track record in delivering specialist health services and have the capacity to operate in the specified geographic areas of England. Successful appointments will enable these organisations to enhance their service offerings and contribute to critical health initiatives across the nation. ## Notice NHS England Specialised Commissioning - Highly Specialised Commissioning Team (referred to as the Commissioner(s)) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering the Service(s), by responding to this opportunity and within the published Provider Selection Process. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the provider selection process. The key objective of the provider selection is to commission the Service(s) to serve the population of England. It is expected that expert care for rare Inherited White Matter Disorders (IWMDs) will already be being provided by the organisations which apply to this process and applicants will be able to demonstrate this. For this reason, applying organisations must be existing tertiary neurosciences units. The provider selection process is described within the documentation published. This Provider Selection Process has been advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (the "Regulations") to the extent that the Regulations relate to services within the scope of Schedule 3 thereto (Social and Other Specific Services). The Commissioner and AGCSU are, therefore, bound only by those parts of the Regulations applying to Schedule 3 services (also known as the "Light Touch Regime"). This provider selection is to select five centres to manage IWMD diagnostic and management services across England, and one provider to host the IWMD Clinical Registry. This service is split into 6 lots: Lot 1 (Adult care: one provider for the NHS England populations in the following Regions: The North West; The North East and Yorkshire; The Midlands; and The north part of the East of England Region including Cambridge), Lot 2 (Adult care: one provider for the NHS England populations in the following Regions: London; The South East; The South West; and The southern part of the East of England Region including Essex), Lot 3 (Paediatric care: one provider for the NHS England populations in the following Regions: The North West; and The North East and Yorkshire); Lot 4 (Paediatric care: one provider for the NHS England populations in the following Regions The Midlands; and The north part of the East of England Region including Cambridge); Lot 5 (Paediatric care: one provider for the NHS England populations in the following Regions: London; The South West; The South East; and The southern part of the East of England area including Essex); Lot 6: (One provider to host the IWMD Clinical Registry.)
