This contract, valued at £5,199,000, targets the healthcare industry and encompasses services that facilitate the transportation of patients with medical needs between healthcare providers and NHS sites in the Plymouth area. The procurement period will end on 16th May 2017, with the contract period commencing from 6th November 2017 and running until 28th May 2022. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transport and healthcare sectors, particularly those equipped to handle non-emergency medical transport. Companies specialising in providing patient transport services, including those with vehicles suitable for various mobility needs, will find this contract particularly relevant. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate due to the procurement's suitability for smaller firms, and they may leverage this opportunity to expand their operations within the NHS framework. ## Notice The Department of Health defines non-emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPTS) as the 'non-urgent, planned, transportation of patients with a medical need for transport to and from a premises providing NHS healthcare and between NHS healthcare providers'. Services that are included in this procurement are: The NEPTS will cover Plymouth NHS Healthcare sites (to and from) and patients registered with GPs in PL1 to PL9. The service will predominantly convey eligible patients in multi seated vehicles to cope with a variety of wheelchair carrying options that will only be for medically eligible patients as assessed by the Plymouth Transport Booking Service. The service will cover all mobility types. Essentially stretchers, some wheelchair users and bariatric patients. Whilst 'walkers' are included it is expected that the service (in pursuit of value for public-money and CO2 footprint management) will be mainly delivered in multi-seated vehicles such as existing NEPTS ambulance models and single patient car journeys actively discouraged. The PTS provider will be required to have a PTS planning and coordinating function that interfaces with the Plymouth Transport Booking Service within the hours the Plymouth Transport Booking Service operates and have a system for the period that the PTS operates that is outside the Plymouth Transport Booking Service operating hours.
