Description

Procurement Service - Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group

Description
Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) hereafter referred to as 'the Authority' invites tenders from suitably qualified providers of procurement services with significant knowledge and experience of working in the NHS healthcare sector.

The successful provider is expected to transform the way the CCG's current procurement, commercial and contracting model is structured and delivered. The transformation will support the integration of the service provision across the mix of healthcare providers in the BLMK region (in compliance with existing and upcoming/future changes to legislation and regulations).

Requirements are for clinical and non-clinical services to provide advice, support, ongoing development and management of:

• Systems transformation across the healthcare sector in BLMK
• Delivering Strategic Procurements
• Delivering eProcurement and Transactional Procurements
• Delivering NHS Long Term Plan including best value test
• Ensuring compliant end to end Procurement Processes
• Maintaining contracts register, procurement pipeline and prioritisation matrix

The service must be fully mobilised and live from 1st July 2022. The contract term is for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further period up to 1 year. The annual budget for this service is in the range of £320,000 - £340,000.

In line with the Health and Care Bill, it is envisaged that CCGs will be abolished and replaced by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). Any reference to BLMK CCG in this procurement should be interpreted as referring to the BLMK ICB that will take their place in due course.'

The Procurement is being managed by NHS London Shared Service (LSS) (formerly NELCSU), on behalf of the Authority, in connection with a competitive Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise that is being conducted via a procurement process, based on the Open procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations" (as amended)).
