Description

Procurement of a Community Vasectomy Service (CVS) under an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) approach. The Commissioner is NHS Hastings and Rother as Lead Commissioner, NHS High Weald Lewes Havens CCG and NHS Eastbourne Hailsham Seaford as Associate Commissioners. The Commissioner is supported in this project by NHS South East CSU (SECSU) and its procurement partner NHS Commercial Solutions (NHSCS), which is managing this procurement.
The service will provide a vasectomy under local anaesthetic using a minimally invasive technique, in a community setting. The service will be open to all adult males who request it, are able to give valid consent, are not acting under external duress and are registered with a GP in Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford CCG, Hastings and Rother CCG or High Weald Lewes Havens CCG. The service will be patient-focused, safe and effective and equitable for all patient groups.
With this AQP approach all bidders who complete the accreditation process to (a) demonstrate capability and capacity to deliver the service and (b) accept the standard NHS contract terms and conditions and (c) accept the Commissioner's local tariff price will become qualified providers. All qualified providers will be offered the standard NHS contract with the same terms, conditions, and price. The contract will have no guaranteed minimum level of activity and no restricted maximum level of activity. Providers will be paid according to the actual activity level delivered.
Bidders should note that the indicative contract value is an estimated total cost of the service rather than an individual contract value, as it will be spread across multiple providers. The service has a tariff which is determined in advance by the commissioner and applied to all providers equally. The provider has no guaranteed level of activity, and hence no guaranteed contract value.
