The procurement process involved tendering for lots across different regions in England, including adult and paediatric care services. The contracting authority, along with the supporting agency, invited suitably qualified providers to express interest in delivering these services. The awarded contracts are currently active and involve significant financial values, with a focus on quality and technical criteria. This public procurement opportunity presents business growth prospects for providers in the health and social work services sector, particularly those already engaged in expert care for rare Inherited White Matter Disorders. Tertiary neurosciences units with experience in delivering specialised care are well-suited to compete for these contracts. The procurement process aims to serve the population of England, providing clarity on funding models and service delivery expectations. Businesses with a track record in health services should consider participating in this tender to expand their operations and contribute to specialised healthcare provision. ## Notice This is a reopened ITT process, (the previous EU Supply project reference was 45233) to which some bidders have already responded. Commissioners have adjusted the financial model in the reopened process and provided greater clarity on how service activity will be funded. NHS England Specialised Commissioning - Highly Specialised Commissioning Team (referred to as the Commissioner(s)) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering the Service(s), by responding to this opportunity as required and described in document 1, and within the published Provider Selection Process. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the provider selection process. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Lot 1: Adult care - one provider for the NHS England populations in the following Regions: a.

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the provider selection process. This is a reopened ITT process, (the previous EU Supply project reference was 45233) to which some bidders have already responded. Commissioners have adjusted the financial model in the reopened process and provided greater clarity on how service activity will be funded. Previous bidders are invited to confirm the non-financial responses they have already submitted or amend these if they so wish. They are asked to respond to the new financial questions. New bidders are required to submit responses to all of the questions. The provider selection process is described within the documentation published. This Provider Selection Process has been advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (the "Regulations") to the extent that the Regulations relate to services within the scope of Schedule 3 thereto (Social and Other Specific Services). The Commissioner and AGCSU are, therefore, bound only by those parts of the Regulations applying to Schedule 3 services (also known as the "Light Touch Regime"). The key objective of the provider selection is to commission the Service(s) to serve the population of England. It is expected that expert care for rare Inherited White Matter Disorders (IWMDs) will already be being provided by the organisations which apply to this process and applicants will be able to demonstrate this. For this reason, applying organisations must be existing tertiary neurosciences units. Renewal: Commissioners have the option to extend the contract for a further 2 years.
