Description

NHS England (London Region) (hereafter referred to as "The Authority") is seeking to commission Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) Services at Broadmoor Hospital ("the Service"). The Authority invites Expressions of Interest (EoIs) and completion of Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents for the provision of the Service.

It is expected that a contract for the Service will be awarded for a period of 3 years from 1 April 2023, with an optional extension for a further period of 1 years (twelve months). Therefore, the maximum duration of this contract, if all extension options are taken up, will be 4 years (48 months).

The annual contract value for this project is £212,992. Over the 4 years, if the contract is extended to its full duration, the total contract value will be £851,968. From Year 2 onwards the annual value will be uplifted by the agreed NHS inflationary factor.

Further details of the Requirements are set out in the Service Specification.

The Procurement process will be facilitated entirely online via The Authority's e-procurement portal (ProContract). Interested Applicants wishing to participate in the procurement must register, express an interest, and complete the online ITT questionnaires hosted on the portal prior to the deadline for submission (17:00 on Friday 16 December 2022).

All clarification requests and correspondence pertaining to this Expression of Interest opportunity must be directed through the portal. The deadline for any clarification questions is 12:00pm on 9 December 2022.

The Procurement is being managed by the Procurement and Contracting Hub hosted by NHS North East London, on behalf of the Authority.
