Description

Old Hall Surgery APMS, Westminster Surgery APMS and Special Allocation Service, Willaston Surgery APMS and St Werburgh's Homeless Practice and Special Allocation Service.
The aim of the service is to provide the people of Cheshire & Merseyside with "high quality clinical services for the above areas and to ensure arrangements are in place to maintain the services available to the practice's patients.
It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published on Find and Tender Service and on Contracts Finder.
It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An Request for information is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest.
NECS is utilising an electronic tendering tool to manage this RFI exercise and communicate with potential providers. Accordingly, there will be no hard copy documents issued to potential providers and all communications with NECS, including RFI submissions, will be conducted via Atamis: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
