Description

North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS England (North) Health & Justice - Cumbria & North East (the Contracting Authority) and is managing the procurement process for the provision of Healthcare Services for HMP Haverigg.
The services to be provided include Mental Health, Substance Misuse & Pharmacy Services.
The Contracting Authority is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) 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 June 2019).
It should be noted that this PIN invites individuals and organisations to express an interest 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 expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the procurement process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest.
The market engagement event will be held on Friday 12th April 2019 at MacDonald Old England Hotel, Bowness on Windermere, LA23 3DF from 10:00 - 12:00.
NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (PROACTIS) and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register in advance on the portal to register for the event which can be found at www.proactisplaza.com/supplierportal/?CID=NECS
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.
You will need to register your attendance in advance via PROACTIS no later than 12 noon, 10 April 2019. Places are limited to 3 per organisation.
