A Market Engagement Event is scheduled for Monday, 8th August 2022, from 2 PM to 4 PM on MS Teams, inviting interested providers to learn about the upcoming opportunities and requirements. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, specifically aimed at improving patient transport within Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the healthcare transport sector, particularly those specialising in patient transport and logistics. Companies that are committed to providing high-quality, person-centred transport services, and have experience in managing diverse transport needs, will be particularly well-suited to participate. By attending the Market Engagement Event, businesses can gain valuable insights into the contract specifications and establish connections with the commissioning body, thereby enhancing their competitiveness within this sector. ## Notice Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (ML CSU) on behalf of the Commissioners, NHS Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Integrated Care System (LLR ICS) and NHS Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB), would like to invite providers to attend a 'Market Engagement Event' which will inform the market of the Commissioners' intentions to procure their Patient Transport Services (PTS), to include Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (NEPTS), Renal Dialysis Transport and High Dependency/Blue Light Transport/Bariatric/End of Life Transport. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The aim of the services is to deliver high quality, dignified and safe patient transport to specific cohorts of patients, ensuring all eligible patients are able to travel in a timely manner, without adverse impact on their medical condition. The main benefits and expected outcomes are: person-centred and providers will need to be committed to the 'personalization' of the whole service(s) from the point of first contact when the booking is made, through to pick-up, relationship of the driver with the patient and escort (if applicable), journey to the destination, supporting the patient in preparation for their transport and arrival at home or nominated place of residence or other healthcare setting.
