Description

Lincolnshire CCG is inviting Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified and experienced providers capable of delivering non-emergency patient transport service for Lincolnshire patients, in preparation for a Market Engagement Event and future tendering process.
The aim of this Expression of Interest is to;
1. provide the market with visibility of the proposed opportunity;
2. support the CCGs decision making to inform the future commissioning of services (as applicable);
3. to help define the future service approach and model;
4. to gauge the level of interest from the market of capable providers with capacity across the region to deliver the services noted above.
If you wish to express an interest please register on the EU Supply Portal https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp. The reference for this expression of interest is Quote/tender 42970 - Expression of Interest for Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service across Lincolnshire.
Once registered, please complete the questions which ask details about: your organisation's name and postal address, email address, contact name and number along with your capability and experience of delivering similar services to those summarised above.
It is highly likely that we will hold one or more engagement events, although this is subject to change. These events would offer an overview of the Commissioner's intentions, regarding any future opportunities, and help define the commissioning approach and inform the development of the service specification. Bidders who have expressed an interest in this market testing exercise will have the opportunity to submit a separate response to the Contract Notice as applicable. The deadline for Expressions of Interest responses is 25th February 2021.
Please note this is a market testing exercise and does not commit the CCGs to carry out a procurement process. Current services will remain in place during this period in line with existing contracts and service level agreements.
