The procurement is classified under health and social work services, and it covers locations including Preston, Chorley, Accrington, Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool, and Kendal. Interested parties are invited to confirm their engagement no later than 5:00 PM on 17th May 2019, with the intention to publish a contract notice in July 2019 and award a contract expected by November 2019. The anticipated contract duration is seven years, with a potential three-year extension. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in renal dialysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically encouraged to participate in this engagement, as input from various stakeholders will shape the service specifications. Companies that provide innovative healthcare solutions or have experience in managing dialysis services would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, which aims to offer flexible services that accommodate patient preferences across the region. ## Notice Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is considering their future provision of Renal Dialysis Services. Renal services are organised and managed on a hub and spoke model with Preston being the hub providing acute and chronic dialysis. The spokes provide satellite Haemodialysis in Chorley, Accrington, Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool and Kendal. The service also runs outpatient clinics at several sites across East Lancashire, Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre and Morecambe Bay in addition to Central Lancashire. The current service manages a population of 1.5 million across Lancashire and South Cumbria, with 515 dialysis patients between the hub and satellite units, and approximately 95 patients dialysing at home. Recognising a strategic opportunity to improve our regional service, the shared vision is to provide a flexible responsive service, with all patients dialysing in a place of their choosing, either at home, or within 30 minutes travel time of their home. At this stage the Trust would like to invite input from interested parties as they work to develop a comprehensive service specification. ***Interested parties are asked to confirm their interest in further engagement with the trust on this opportunity by completing and returning the attached questionnaire to: tom_baker@nhs.net referencing 'Renal Services' in the title. The deadline for expressions of interest is 17.00 on Friday 17th May 2019 *** Further details will be provided upon receipt of your completed questionnaire. The Trust anticipates publishing a Contract Notice to commence procurement during July 2019. It is expected that a contract will be awarded for 7 years to the appointed provider with the option to extend for up to a further 3 years at their discretion. The expected contract date is anticipated to be November 2019. The submission of an expression of interest is not a prerequisite to any subsequent procurement application; however the response to this market engagement advert will help to inform the procurement approach, including whether or not a competitive process will be appropriate, i.e. a lack of expressions of interest may be used to evidence the appropriateness to award a contract direct without a competition. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22618d89-331d-41e6-ab35-7ceaee9a2a0b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 17 May 2019 | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES | | 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 - 3 May 2019 at 12:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22618d89-331d-41e6-ab35-7ceaee9a2a0b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22618d89-331d-41e6-ab35-7ceaee9a2a0b 3rd May 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/74f2520a-876b-485e-b071-d8f410c9196b Request for Information ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
