Description

Invitations are now invited from suitably experienced and capable providers to deliver the provision of a Non-Emergency PTS Service.

Two separate services are being integrated into a singular contractual solution to support NHS Richmond & Kingston Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) who will act as the Contracting Authority.

The CCGs are offering a contract for 3 years with an option for this to be extended for up to a further 2 years, with the new integrated service intended to commence from 1 October 2019.

This service is for:

• Eligibility assessments for patients requiring PTS to community services for 'first' outpatient appointment and 'follow up' appointments or 'first appointment' / 'treatment' to an acute hospital.
• Patient Transport Booking
• Non-emergency patient transport (NEPT) for community appointments

This is for patients who are considered medically unfit to be transported by conventional means (i.e. own car, bus, walk, etc.) and require transport to or from their usual place of residence to a Trust facility, other hospitals, health centres, nursing homes and any other location deemed appropriate.

Full details about this service are provided within a suite of procurement documents which in addition to competitive procurement tender documents, includes a Service Specification to ensure potential bidders are fully informed as to the scope and intentions for this service and the commercial arrangements intended to support the contract.
