Description
North of England Commissioning Support is working for and on behalf of NHS England and Merseyside Police (the Contracting Authorities) and is managing the procurement process for both Commissioners.
This procurement concerns a contract for Integrated Custody Healthcare and Liaison and Diversion services across the Merseyside Police Force area and information on how to access documentation relating to this procurement can be found below.
The proposed financial threshold for this procurement is £3.6m p.a.
The Contracting Authority is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a request for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to engage with the market and to gather information in order to gain a better understanding of both the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed services, and to alert the market to a future tender opportunity.
It is important to note that this PIN is not a call for competition and as such you will need to express your interest in any future tender opportunity once the contract notice is published in OJEU and on Contracts Finder (approximately January 2020).
It should also be noted that this PIN invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this EOI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process.
This PIN is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An EOI is no indication of a commitment to participate in the any process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services.
