Description
This was a call for competition.
NHS West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (WL CCG) was seeking to commission a provider to deliver medical services at Thurmaston Health Centre, Leicestershire under an Alternative Provider of Medical Services contract from the 18th of October 2021 for a weighted population of 6,703 patients.
The Commissioners wished to receive responses to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) from suitably qualified and experienced Providers with the necessary skill and experience (or a demonstrable ability to provide the skill and experience) to provide the range of services required.
The contract was for a term of five (5) years from the Service start date with the possibility of extending the term by up to another 5 years beyond the initial contracted term at the Commissioner's request. The contract start date was 18th of October 2021.
The contract value for this service was variable, and estimated to be £938,513 at 2021/22 prices, and up to a total £9.39m over the potential 10-years of the contract (including extensions). The Commissioner advised it would reject bids that did not meet the sustainability test (as defined in the tender documentation).
The service was commissioned via an open type procurement process according to the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 for healthcare services advertised to all providers which was proportionate to the value and complexity of the service and contract.
The invitation to tender (ITT) was available from 12th May 2021 on the ML CSU Bravo portal and had a deadline for submissions of 12:00 noon on 9th June 2021.
