The above list is not exhaustive and full details on the required services will be outlined in the service specification as part of the contract documents for those Bidders invited to tender.

The Contracting Authority wishes to receive responses to the PQQ from suitably qualified healthcare providers experienced in healthcare service provision within secure settings ("Bidders") with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to provide the specified services within the requisite timescales. The Contracting Authority intends to award one contract as a result of this procurement process for each of the Lots described above. Further information on the proposed structure of the contract is provided in the PQQ and Memorandum of Information (MOI) documentation made available online to interested parties on the NHS Sourcing eTendering portal (link below).

To clarify, Bidders who only specialise in certain service areas are able to form consortia or other relationships (for example sub-contracting for a Prime contractor) in order to be considered for the opportunity. Important information regarding Bidder Structures is available on the tender portal for interested parties.

The contract will have an initial period of five years (60 months) which will be followed by two optional 12 month extension periods. Therefore if both of the optional extensions are taken up, the maximum contract period will be 84 months.

The Estimated Contract Value for Lot 1 is £49,063,000
The Estimated Contract Value for Lot 2 is £63,749,000
The contract values shown above are estimated figures for the full (extended) 7 year contract term (Ex VAT).
