This initiative falls under the health services category and is located in Lancashire, United Kingdom. The procurement aims to gather market intelligence through a Request for Information (RFI) to understand the capacity and interest among potential providers for delivering the proposed Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS). Interested parties are required to register on the In-Tend portal, with the RFI documentation made available from 25 April 2022, and responses due by 12:00 noon on 09 May 2022. This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those equipped to deliver primary care services. Companies interested in expanding their portfolio or entering the public sector should consider participating, as this RFI is designed to foster communication and awareness of forthcoming tender opportunities. The involvement of businesses familiar with the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations would be particularly advantageous, as future contracts may necessitate staff transfers from the public sector to private providers. ## Notice The Commissioner is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence/information, to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed APMS for the people of Chorley, and to alert the market to a possible future tender opportunity. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Commissioner is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence/information, to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed APMS for the people of Chorley, and to alert the market to a possible future tender opportunity. It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Official Journal European Union (OJEU) and on Contracts Finder. It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI exercise. NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to access the RFI documentation and return completed RFI documentation. Please note that it is free to register on In-Tend, which can be accessed at any time of day as long as you have a working internet connection. The In-Tend portal can be found at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu (Please follow the registration instructions if you are not already registered) and look for the project NHSE875 Request for Information - APMS Withnell Health Centre. Potential providers are to note that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services. The RFI documentation will be accessible on 25 April 2022 and completed RFI responses must be returned by 12.00 noon on 09 May 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010650-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Jul 2022 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS CHORLEY AND SOUTH RIBBLE CCG | | Locality | LANCASHIRE | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR26 6TT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | South Ribble | | Electoral ward | Farington West | | Westminster constituency | South Ribble | | Delivery location | TLD4 Lancashire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 26 Apr 2022 at 07:27 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010650-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
