The procurement process pertains to the healthcare industry, specifically general practitioner services (CPV code 85121100), and will be carried out under the services category. The tender stage has been updated and a corrigendum notice confirms the cancellation and re-issue of a previous notice due to a change in contractual value. The procurement follows the Provider Selection Regime (Health Care Services Regulation 2023) and will award the contract using the Most Suitable Provider Process, with key decision dates including an update on October 7, 2024, and planning details from October 1, 2024. The services will be performed at the Friary Primary Care Hospital in Richmond, UKC1 region. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, especially those experienced in providing general practitioner services. Given the focus on selecting the most suitable provider, businesses demonstrating high standards of service delivery, good financial standing, and relevant technical and professional capabilities are well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender could enhance a company’s reputation and expand its service portfolio within the North East of England, thus promoting business growth. The incumbent provider has set a high bar, suggesting that only those capable of high-quality service delivery in rural settings are likely to be successful. ## Notice This is a F14 (Corrigendum) notice to confirm that FTS-012789 has been cancelled and re-issued as FTS-012905 due to a change in contractual value part way through the F01 (PIN) notice period. ### Lot Information Lot 1 South Tees Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) plan on utilising the Most Suitable Provider Process to award a contract to the incumbent provider, for the provision of GP Services within their region of Richmond, As required by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) (Health Care Services Regulation 2023), this document outlines the supplier's performance against the key criteria and the likelihood of the supplier satisfying the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The Trusts has also considered the basic selection criteria to ensure suitability, good financial standing and that the supplier has the relevant technical and professional ability. Reasons for rational : Direct award A - The incumbent provider delivering the services is doing so to a high standard that the trust wishes to maintain, and we are not entering into a framework agreement. There are other providers who could arrange to provide GP services in the area, which is why subsection (b) is not applicable. Direct award B - The services provided under the contract are to provide GP support services and there is no requirement for patient choice as only one supplier is required. There are other providers who look after other areas in the region but as the incumbent supplier looks after a small rural area, it would not be appropriate/advantageous to award to more than one provider. Direct Award B is not suitable for this exercise. Direct award C - Trust considerations: We have established that Direct Award A and B or not appropriate to this exercise. The Trust have an incumbent provider and are proposing to award a new contract as the current agreement has expired, which excludes route C through requirement 'B' in the above table, even though the proposed contract will be for the same scope as the existing agreement. Recommendation: The Trust has selected the most suitable provider route to award the proposed contract. Due to the specific nature of the requirement, there would be no value gained from running a competitive process. The above details on the approach were approved by the senior leadership team at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton. Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award The trust confirm that it intends to award a contract using the most suitable provider process to the incumbent provider of the service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032019-2024 | | 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, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Sep 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | 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 | SOUTH TEES HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | MIDDLESBROUGH | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS4 3BW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC32 South Teesside | | Local authority | Middlesbrough | | Electoral ward | Longlands & Beechwood | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | TLC1 Tees Valley and Durham | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85121100 - General-practitioner services ## Release History - 7 Oct 2024 at 09:19 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032019-2024 - 1 Oct 2024 at 08:39 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031275-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.southtees.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
