Description
This DPS will offer mobile diagnostic and/or treatment units to healthcare and/or other organisations in the UK public sector. These units within the NHS would increase capacity within organisations to help facilitate the delivery of the elective programme and to help with
waiting lists, patient backlogs and lack of staff availability/space. Suppliers would work closely with healthcare organisations to deliver easily accessible treatments or diagnostics, either on hospital sites or closer to patients homes in more remote areas (for example at
supermarkets, GP practices etc.). By working with healthcare organisations, suppliers will relieve pressure on services by improving access to treatments and bed space, reducing patient waiting times and freeing up clinical capacity. Units are usually provided in the form
of vans or non-permanent units/cabins.
The DPS will be in three Lots:
Lot 1 - Hire or Lease of Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s)
Lot 2 - Purchase of Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s)
Lot 3 - Mobile Diagnostic and/or Treatment Unit(s) as a Managed Service
Applications may be made to one or more Lots.
