This engagement with potential bidders aims to inform the service specification for the upcoming tender. The engagement period will close on 23rd February 2018. Interested providers are encouraged to share their service delivery models and insights, with contact information required by 5pm on 14th July 2016. This project falls under the health and social work services category, and encompasses the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for service providers in the health and transport sectors, particularly those with experience in non-emergency medical transport services. Businesses that specialise in patient transportation, equipped to meet diverse healthcare needs, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging early with the contracting authority may provide valuable insights and enhance potential for successful bids in the planned procurement process, enabling firms to tailor their proposals effectively to the commissioners’ requirements. ## Notice Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AG CSU) on behalf of the commissioners, West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (WL CCG), East Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning (ELR CCG) and Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (LC CCG), would like to invite providers to inform the service specification for the upcoming procurement of the NEPTS service for LLR. The commissioners would like to hear from any potential provider who would be willing to present and discuss their current and future service delivery models, capability and capacity, to help design the LLR service specification. The commissioners would value expert insight that can be given into the delivery of this type of service and information would be greatly received. Whilst this is to help properly design a realistic service specification for an upcoming tender covering the LLR region the information you give may be shared with other CCG's in England. Also the information you provide and your details may be used in any rationale for the service specification content. If you are interested in meeting with the commissioners please can you contact Paulo Cabral, Procurement Administrator, on LLRProcurement@ardengemcsu.nhs.uk with the following details by no later than 5pm Thursday 14th July 2016: * Name of delegates * Job title of delegates * Organisation details, including address * Delegate email address and telephone number. You will then be contacted to arrange an hour slot at a time convenient to the commissioners, at their offices in LLR over the following week. Please be aware that the commissioners will try to be as accommodating as possible within the timeline available. A further advertisement will be published notifying the market of a planned market engagement event in the near future. The advert will be placed on Contracts Finder (https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search), and Arden & GEM CSUs' procurement portal which will be utilised for the tender https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk. We recommend that you register with both of these websites in the meantime. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5852c47-0014-4b11-9c06-e66c34380367 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | 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 | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 6NB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2018 at 10:50 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5852c47-0014-4b11-9c06-e66c34380367 - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/251c8405-900c-4194-ab9c-2d2175dfdee2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5852c47-0014-4b11-9c06-e66c34380367 8th January 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/251c8405-900c-4194-ab9c-2d2175dfdee2 30th June 2016 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2dfa1a4f-329e-4d0b-ae5c-54787aeb3f71 Advert re provider presentations FINAL 30.06.16 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/57137589-0a39-4868-96b0-5ef25797a81c Advert re provider presentations FINAL 30.06.16 ## Notice URLs - https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
