Description
North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is a commissioning support service hosted by NHS England and is managing this Request for Information (RFI) and a future procurement process for the provision of a Dental Helpline for NHS England North (Cheshire and Merseyside) (the Contracting Authority). The RFI documentation will be accessible from 15 April 2019 and completed RFI responses must be returned by 12.00 noon on 30 April 2019.
NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (PROACTIS) 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.
The PROACTIS e-Tendering portal can be found at: https://www.proactisplaza.com/SupplierPortal/?CID=NECS
(Please follow the registration instructions if you are not already registered) and look for the project NHSE302 Request for Information - Dental Helpline.
Please note that it is free to register on PROACTIS, which can be accessed at any time of day as long as you have a working internet
connection.
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.
It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such you will need to express your interest in any future tender opportunity once the contract notice is published in OJEU and on Contracts Finder.
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.
