Description

NHS Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge Clinical Commissioning Groups, (BHR CCGs) may in the future wish to commission a Community ENT service with a view for the service to be in place by the second quarter of 2018. The Commissioners wish to consult with providers about their intended approach prior to commissioning the services and commencing a procurement exercise.

The services are currently being provided in the health economy from a number of providers using locations in each of the three boroughs for the Community ENT service.

This engagement will comprise Q&A's to gather feedback from providers on the draft specifications and cost of the service, the feedback may be used by the Commissioners to shape the way forward.

Attachments are available to interested parties to further inform the submission of the questionnaire response. (1) Market Engagement Questionnaire (2) Draft Service Specification. Respondents are requested to specifically address the questions rather than attaching extensive technical or promotional information as such information will not be considered.
We would welcome a response from your organisation. As part of this Market Engagement exercise we are requesting bidders to complete a short questionnaire and submit it via the Pro-Contract portal (https://procontract.due-north.com/Login/) by 4 December 2017.

Please note this is purely a market assessment exercise to gather facts on potential providers and assist the CCGs with testing their assumptions and proposed service requirements.

Any future potential procurement, if undertaken, will be a separate exercise.
