The procurement involves providing weekend clinical delivery and reporting of consultant-led diagnostic procedures like DSE, ESE, TOE, and CA. The services are to be delivered at the Wiltshire Cardiac Centre in Swindon, UK. The Trust aims to increase clinical capacity over the next 12-24 months to address patient waiting times, with emphasis on in-house procedures and consultant-led services. This tender by the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust presents an opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, specifically those providing cardiology consultant services. Companies with expertise in delivering DSE, ESE, TOE, and CA procedures, along with reporting in accordance with NICE guidelines, are well-suited to compete. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for July 12th, 2024. Interested parties can convey their interest by contacting Henry Prudden at henry.prudden@nhs.net for further details. ## Notice Requirement Great Western Hospital (GWH) have a requirement for weekend clinical delivery and reporting of consultant-led diagnostic procedures: Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram (DSE), Exercise Stress Echocardiogram (ESE), Transoesophageal Echocardiogram (TOE), and Cardiac Angiogram (CA). Background on Requirement The current demand for these consultant-led diagnostic tests exceeds the capacity of our clinical services, both in terms of resources and facilities. Therefore, the department needs to increase capacity by utilising weekends (Saturday/Sunday) or evening sessions (6 pm-9 pm, Mon-Fri) to serve patients with long waiting times. We urgently need to deliver five full weekend sessions for DSE/ESE procedures using two consultants to handle 26 patient procedures per day at the Wiltshire Cardiac Centre, GWH. This will address a total of 130 patients. Each session will be supported by Cardiac Physiologists and Nursing staff. Additionally, we require the ability to organise short-notice (within 15 working days) weekend or evening clinics for DSE/ESE/TOE/Angiogram procedures as needed by the Cardiology Department at GWH. Objectives We aim to provide additional ad-hoc clinical capacity over the next 12-24 months to conduct long-wait clinics as part of our elective recovery program. All procedures will be consultant-led, with GWH providing the necessary physiologist and nursing support. Ideally, these procedures will take place in-house at GWH to utilise our existing facilities and specialised equipment. Statement of Works To achieve our objectives, we require: - Cardiology consultants with a proven track record of performing DSE/ESE/TOE/Angiogram procedures. - Consultants who can report results in accordance with NICE guidelines. If you are interested, kindly convey your interest by sending an email to henry.prudden@nhs.net ### Lot Information Lot 1 This procurement exercise is seeking for one supplier to provide an insourced solution to provide weekend clinical delivery and reporting of consultant-led diagnostic procedures: Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram (DSE), Exercise Stress Echocardiogram (ESE), Transoesophageal Echocardiogram (TOE), and Cardiac Angiogram (CA). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021407-2024 | | 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 | 12 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Jul 2024 | | 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 | GREAT WESTERN HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN3 6BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Ridgeway | | Westminster constituency | East Wiltshire | | Delivery location | TLK14 Swindon | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 12 Jul 2024 at 10:45 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021407-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.gwh.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
