## Summary

NHS Kernow Clinical Commissioning Group is currently engaging in an open tender for the "Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (NEPTs)" aimed at streamlining the delivery of NHS-funded non-emergency transport across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The procurement process seeks to address inefficiencies in the current services, with a focus on improving quality and providing a centralised booking system. The tender period is set to close on 24 May 2018, and the anticipated contract period will commence on 1 April 2019 and conclude on 31 March 2021. This initiative falls under the transport services sector, specifically within the realms of non-scheduled passenger transport and ambulance services.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in patient transport, logistics, and healthcare services to expand their operations within the region. Companies that can offer comprehensive and innovative transport solutions, such as centralised booking systems and specialised crew services, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The emphasis on improving service delivery and patient access indicates that there is room for businesses that can enhance efficiency and value for money in the healthcare transport sector.

In order to ensure the needs of patients are met by: * improving the quality and value for money of services * introducing a single point of access for all types of non-emergency patient transport; and * ensuring patients access the right type of transport for their needs. The universal NHS funded non-emergency patient transport includes the following elements: * Centralised Booking Service * Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (mainland) * Car Services * Qualified Crew Ambulance Services * Isles of Scilly Travel Service * Specialist Mental Health Transport
