Description

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering a Community Non-Scalpel & Scalpel Vasectomy Service, by responding to this opportunity as required and described in the published tender documentation. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the procurement process.

The service is a Schedule 3 Service and is being procured under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

The service will provide a quality and safe primarily no-scalpel technique (as appropriate) vasectomy under local anaesthetic, in accordance with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist guidelines, (RCOG), in a primary care setting to all adult males who request it, are of sound mind, not acting under external duress and are registered with a General Practitioner (GP) within NHS DDICB

As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement will be established with the successful Bidder(s) for a period of 3 years with the Commissioner having the option to extend the contract for up to a further 2 years. The current contract(s) for the Services will end on 31st March 2023 and as a result the successful provider is expected to be fully operational, providing services from 01st April 2023.

There is an affordability threshold associated with this procurement. No bids over £298,700 per annum will be accepted. Any bids that exceed £298,700 per annum (excluding any inflationary uplift inline with the agreed contract) will be disqualified.
