Description

The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) is seeking to commission an organisation that will support the delivery of the National Respiratory Audit Programme (NRAP). The contract will initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England and Wales, for a period of three years, at a maximum total budget of up to £2,748,000 GBP excluding VAT. Bids exceeding this limit will be rejected. There is potential to extend the contract for up to two additional years at £916,000 per year. With the inclusion of aspirational intent as defined in this ITT's specification, the maximum potential ceiling value is £ 14,795,695.00 GBP excluding VAT.

Whilst the contract value is listed as £2,748,000 GBP for a duration of 3 years, Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership reserve the right to invoke aspirational intent.

The scope of this aspirational intent and value ranges are listed below and also under section 1.3.1 and Section 12 of the specification.

The specification also outlines the mechanisms for invoking aspirational intent.

It is important to note that HQIP are under no obligation to invoke any aspirational intent or HQIP may opt to invoke only certain elements of it.

1. Up to 24-month extension that mirrors the NCAPOP headline contract at £916,000 per year

2. Inclusion of additional national or international funders
Scotland - £76,669.20 to £1,077,713
Northern Ireland - £26,472.40 to £395,122
Guernsey - £9,160 to £130,130
Jersey - £13,740 to £189,280
Isle of Man - £11,908 to £177,450

The potential value range above would be a resultant increase to the contract value.

Table 2 at Section 12 of the specification sets out further detail.

3. As part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme, this project is required to remain responsive to future changes in clinical standards, service delivery and national clinical policy priorities.

This opportunity is to potentially include:
• Different topics
• Combining NCAPOP projects / programmes, including alignment across the programme, and / or joint working with other similar NCAPOP programmes
• Transitioning to different models of data collection and operational methods for the audit, e.g. different sources of routine data
• Extending service coverage to include non-NHS funded care
• Additional, associated or enhanced delivery of any aspect of the project
• Other healthcare improvement initiatives either related to or linked with the project.
Value of the above is up to £1,000,000.

Bidders should note that HQIP does not accept requests to amend the published Terms and Conditions of Contract after bid submission or prior to contract signature.

Bidders must sign the Form of Tender to indicate acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Contract. Failure to sign the Form of Tender will make your bid submission non-compliant and subject to disqualification.
