This initiative is categorised under health and social work services and is focused on gathering insights from healthcare providers about a range of assisted conception services designed to support infertile patients within the Sussex area. Interested parties are invited to respond to this request for information (RFI) by noon on Friday, 12th August 2022, through the specified online submission portal. While this RFI will help the Commissioner form a strategic view for future service commissioning, it is not a formal tendering process; further tender advertisements will follow as required. The communication surrounding this procurement indicates that a future notice is expected by the end of December 2023. This procurement initiative presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in assisted reproductive technologies and healthcare services. Companies providing in-vitro fertilisation, cryopreservation, and other fertility-related services could find this a valuable opening to demonstrate their expertise and capabilities. As the NHS aims to offer equitable access to these essential services, businesses that can deliver high-quality and innovative fertility solutions will be well-positioned to compete effectively in any subsequent tender processes that may arise from this RFI. Engaging early with the Commissioner could also afford organisations insights that may enhance their future proposals. ## Notice Sussex ICB is seeking the views of healthcare providers in relation to specialist fertility services. The aim of the assisted conception service is to provide a range of services as specified in the commissioners' Assisted Conception Services for Infertile Patients policy, offering equitable access for patients in the geographical area covered. This is a process designed to help the Commissioner form a view of the best way to commission the service and is not the beginning of a tender exercise. A further tender advertisement will be issued at the appropriate time if required. Feedback at this point will not have a bearing on any tender submissions that respondents may wish to offer at a later date in response to formal calls for tenders. No party will be disadvantaged which chooses not to respond to this RFI but it will be helpful to understand all views at this early stage, so all are encouraged to respond as fully as possible. Please complete this document and return your responses via: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning/aspx/Home by no later than Friday 12th August at noon. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Sussex ICB is seeking the views of healthcare providers in relation to specialist fertility services.
