Description

Further to advert previously published for this opportunity, NHS Vale of York CCG is now extending the SQ deadline based on the change in requirements listed below:

The initial SQ documentation states the following:
Document 2- MOI-Selection Questionnaire states:
"2.1 Background and Context to the Procurement.
NHS Vale of York CCG are conducting this procurement on behalf of itself and NHS Scarborough and Ryedale CCG. There may potentially be other Contracting Authorities within the region that wish to join this procurement exercise in the future. This will be confirmed at ITT stage.

4.1 Procurement Timeline
The timeline ....... It should be noted that the dates are expected dates at the time of issuing this MOI and may be subject to change."

The following CCG's will now be included as part of this tender:
NHS Harrogate & Rural District CCG
NHS Hambleton, Richmondshire & Whitby CCG

In order to allow the requirements of the additional 2 CCG's to be included in the tender documentation and for the requisite notice to be served, a decision has been made to extend the timeline and the go live date is now 1 July 2018.

The original OJEU advert stated a total contract value for the 5 years plus optional extension of 2 years of circa £21million (£3m pa). This figure will now be circa £30million (£4.3m pa).
