Description

The Commissioner is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market
intelligence/information, to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed APMS for the
people of Oldham, and to alert the market to a possible future tender opportunity.
It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express interest in any
future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Official Journal European Union (OJEU) 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 a
pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness,
communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest 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 in the RFI
exercise.
NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need
to register on the portal to access the RFI documentation and return completed RFI documentation.
Please note that it is free to register on In-Tend, which can be accessed at any time of day as long as you have a working internet
connection. The In-Tend portal can be found at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu (Please follow the registration instructions if you are not
already registered) and look for the project NHSE648 Request for Information - APMS Glodwick Medical Centre
Potential providers are to note that 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.
The RFI documentation will be accessible from 12:00 noon on 16 December 2020 and completed RFI responses must be returned by 12.00
noon on 04 January 2020.
