This opportunity, classified under the Health and social work services industry, is currently at the planning stage with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 28 May 2019. The anticipated contract value is approximately £129,000, covering a two-month setup period followed by a two-year service delivery timeframe. Responses will inform the potential competitive procurement process expected to commence in June 2019, leading to service delivery starting in August 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing HIV and STI self-sampling kits, alongside laboratory services and patient management systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that can effectively deliver innovative health solutions tailored for at-risk populations in the North West region would be well-suited for this opportunity. The requirement for flexible service delivery and alignment with the HIV-e programme branding further offers avenues for companies specialising in health innovations and community outreach to engage in a vital public health initiative. ## Notice Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership (GMHSCP) is currently developing its service specification for commissioning an enhanced self-sampling service. The purpose of this engagement is to inform the market of our intention to procure the service, and to assess the level of interest from capable providers who may be interested in delivering the service in the near future. The contract will be for 2 years (delivery) and 2 months (set-up) and total contract value will be in the region of PS129,000 inclusive of applicable VAT. We are looking for a partner to provide HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) self-sampling kits, lab and robust results management and pathway to care and support for a new targeted service (a 'membership' scheme) provided by PaSH (Passionate about Sexual Health) for Greater Manchester residents who are at highest risk of acquiring HIV. The kits will be provided online in response to a tailored plan by the PaSH service for approximately 100-150 individuals per year, and for offline distribution for a further 300-500 individuals. Flexibility for kit provision and confirmation of engagement in treatment, care and support of those with a positive/reactive result is essential. GMHSCP are commissioning this project as part of the 'Ending all new cases of HIV in Greater Manchester within a generation' programme (HIV-e). Branding will need to align with the HIV-e programme. At this stage, GMHSCP is looking to gauge potential interest; it is possible that this prospective contract opportunity may be subject to competitive procurement to enable us to identify the most suitable and qualified provider to deliver the service. Any such procurement process is likely to commence in June 2019 to enable service commencement in August 2019. Responses received will assist to inform the Commissioner as to the level of interest from the market and to inform the procurement approach, including whether a competitive process is appropriate. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed56e413-93dc-4a81-895e-e9a89421c742 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 28 May 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 May 2019 - 30 May 2019 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M50 2UW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Quays | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 16 May 2019 at 10:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed56e413-93dc-4a81-895e-e9a89421c742 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed56e413-93dc-4a81-895e-e9a89421c742 16th May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=28532&B=NHSSBS Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/39 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
