This active tender falls under the "Light touch regime" for social and other specific services, with an open procurement method. The deadline for submitting tenders is 14 September 2018, while the contract is expected to commence on 19 November 2018 and may last for two years with a potential one-year extension. The contract value is estimated at £15 million, and the service location is North West England. This tender presents significant opportunities for service providers that specialise in endoscopy and outpatient surgical services. Businesses with expertise in delivering high-quality, efficient healthcare solutions would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender offers a chance to contribute to and grow within the public healthcare framework. Interested suppliers must register on the Due North ProContract portal to submit their expressions of interest and access relevant tender documentation. ## Notice The purpose of this tender exercise is to select a service provider(s) whose delivery of Lot 1 Endoscopy and Outpatient Services and Lot 2 Colorectal and General Surgery Outpatient Services will represent value for money, high quality service; combined with the ability to identify and implement service efficiencies across the Trust. The Trust intends to award a contract for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further 1 x 12 month period. Indicative activity volumes have been provided in the tender documentation, although these figures and hence the estimated contract value may vary to meet the demands of the service. Additional information: This procurement process is being conducted under the "Light touch regime", governing "social and other specific services" as detailed in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the Regulations) which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but is instead governed by the Light touch regime contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).
