This procurement falls within the health services industry category and is located in Taunton, South West England. The current procurement stage is Tender, with the submission deadline set for 30th May 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2019 and will run until 31st December 2019, exploring avenues to potentially expand services to paediatric oncology patients. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in complementary therapies such as aromatherapy and reflexology, particularly those focusing on cancer care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage this opportunity by offering high-quality, evidence-based services tailored for oncology patients. Businesses that are experienced in hospital compliance and patient care, especially those with a background in delivering therapies to vulnerable populations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is jointly funding this service with the Musgrove Leukaemic Group MLGS Somerset. We are seeking a suitably qualified and experienced Complementary Therapist to provide a high quality evidence-based complementary therapy service for patients with cancer. The Trust wishes to offer patients the opportunity to sample a complementary therapy, to enable them to cope better with the symptoms of their disease, both physiologically and psychologically. It is anticipated that the therapist will offer a 'taster session' to outpatients at The Beacon Centre and should the patients wish to pursue this therapy, they will make their own arrangements either with the therapist, or another of their choosing. In addition, the Authority wises to offer complementary therapy treatments to Haematology inpatients. We may also be expanding the service to include paediatric oncology inpatients and the Authority reserves the option to include this within the contract at a later date. The Authority wishes to provide Aromatherapy (using massage technique) and Reflexology for outpatients and Aromatherapy (using massage technique) for Haematology inpatients.
