The procurement, classified under health and social work services, was initiated on 31 December 2021 and consisted of multiple lots, with contracts awarded for a period of three years, plus a possible two-year extension. The services were expected to commence initially on 1 October 2021, with actual service delivery starting on 1 December 2021. The estimation for the contract's annual value was set at £570,000, based on prior spending, but no activity is guaranteed under this provision. This tender offers ample opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in clinical services related to neurophysiology. Companies that provide Electromyography, Electroencephalographic services, and related testing would be well-suited candidates for future opportunities in this space. The open procurement process encourages competitive bidding, and as the previous contracts are now awarded, this may lead to future tenders as demand and capacity needs evolve within the NHS Trust. ## Notice The Contracting Authority is awarding contracts for clinical services providers to deliver Neurophysiology Testing and Reporting for patients of Lincolnshire. The services will be delivered at all Acute sites within the hospitals of United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust. The procurement consists of lots as detailed in this notice and within the procurement documentation published with this open invitation to tender. Contracts will be awarded for a period of three years, with the option to extend by up to 24 months. The maximum term for this contract award is therefore five years, or 60 months. It was anticipated to award contracts and commence the services on 1 October 2021, though this was subject to change depending on the award and mobilisation period required for these services, and service commencement dates started 01 December 21 under the awarded contracts. There is no guarantee of this activity and an annual value of PS570,000 is based on previous aggregate annual spend for all lots, which is then multiplied by the maximum contract term to estimate the value of this contract. The value of the individual lots cannot be provided as the service configuration in this specification has changed from the previous method of delivery and activity is not guaranteed. The length and estimated value stipulated in this notice for the opportunity is on the basis of a full five year contract being awarded, so includes the original term of three years and option to extend for the additional two years.
