UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

NHS North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care Board (ICB), hereafter referred to as the Authority is seeking to commission NCL 111 Integrated Urgent Care Service and invites suitably qualified providers to submit their tenders. NCL ICB is responsible for allocating NHS budget and commissioning services. ICBs are a key change in the Health and Care Act, and have replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups 'CCGs'. These changes came into effect on 1 July 2022 More information about NCL ICB can be found using the following link. https://nclhealthandcare.org.uk/icb/north-central-london-integrated-care-board/ In 2015/16 NCL CCGs collaborated to commission a combined GP out-of-hours (OOH) and NHS 111 service across NCL. The contract was set against a local specification that patients helped to develop but, since 2018, the service model has evolved in order to meet demand and align with national requirements. The aim of the new NHS 111 IUC model across NCL is to be in line with national guidance and standards, with residents receiving high-quality complete episodes of care with an outcome such as, but not limited to:- • Consult and complete model with broader use of clinical skill • Advice and self-care • A face-to-face or virtual appointment for further assessment in a primary or urgent or emergency care setting • Repeat prescriptions • A multi-provider system working together to ensure patients get the right care, in the right place, at the right time • Current key performance indicators improved and maintained • Affordable and sustainable 111 IUC model. Additional information: This Procurement is divided into three Lots • Lot 1 - 111 call handling • Lot 2 - Clinical Assessment Service (CAS) • Lot 3 - GP out-of-hours (GP OOH) service The Authority invites bids that offer to provide services for all the above Lots (1, 2, and 3) in an integrated manner based on the Prime Provider model. Any Bid that does not cover all the above three Lots will be rejected. Following the evaluation process, the successful Bidder will be awarded a contract covering all three Lots. A bid will be considered for award only if in addition to the other requirements of the ITT, it meets the requirements for all the Lots. A 'fail' in any of the Lots will mean the whole bid is eliminated. The contract will be awarded for an initial period of three years followed by an optional extension of up to two years solely at the discretion of NCL ICB. Therefore, the maximum contract term is 5 years. Maximum price limits for the contract are as follows. Annual contract value = £19,114,968 Contract value over 3 years= £ 57,344,906 Contract value over 5 years= £ 95,574,843 NB: the contract value includes the provision for the category 3 and 4 validation. However, this element is currently being piloted with LAS and following evaluation, the ICB may withdraw this element of the service and therefore the financial value will be deducted. This means the overall NCL NHS 111 IUC financial annual value will be reduced from £19,114,968 to £18,554,926 (excludes any uplifts for inflation, growth, etc.) The services in the scope of this procurement fall within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") and therefore the procurement is not subject to the full regime of the Regulations but is instead governed by what is commonly referred to as the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). The use of any language or terms found in the Regulations, the description of the procedure voluntarily adopted by the Authority, or any other indication, shall not be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound by the Regulations, save those applicable to services coming within the scope of Regulations 74 to 77.

NHS England (London Region) (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") is seeking to re-commission 5 Diabetic Eye Screening Programmes (DESP) to deliver screening to the eligible populations of North West London (Lot 1), North Central London (Lot 2), North East London (Lot 3), South East London (Lot 4), and South West London (Lot 5). The eligible population includes patients over the age of 12 diagnosed with diabetes registered with, or eligible to be registered with, a GP in the lot area as well as individuals within prisons, secure units and the armed forces. The aim of the DESP is to reduce the risk of sight loss amongst people with diabetes by the prompt identification and effective treatment, if necessary, of sight threatening diabetic retinopathy. This will be achieved by delivering an evidence-based service that: •Identifies the eligible population and ensures effective delivery with maximum coverage. •Is safe, effective, high quality, externally and independently monitored, and quality assured. •Leads to earlier detection, appropriate referral, effective treatment and improved outcomes. •Is delivered and supported by suitably trained, competent and qualified clinical and non-clinical staff who, where relevant, participate in recognised ongoing continuing medical education, continuous professional development and quality assurance schemes. •Has audit embedded in the service. •Works effectively with other stakeholders to ensure the care pathway is smooth and efficient. There are 3 key elements of service delivery, namely: •Call/recall for all people with diabetes invited for routine digital screening; this is currently undertaken on an annual basis, but screening intervals are likely to extend to 2 years for people at low risk during the contract term, in line with national guidance. •Digital surveillance where individuals need more frequent screening. •Slit lamp bio-microscopy (SLB) for those individuals where normal photography is inappropriate (e.g. those having cataracts). Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) does not form part of this Contract at this time, though this position may change over the life of the contract in line with national guidance. The Contract term will be 5 years, with an option to extend for a further 2 years at the sole discretion of the Commissioner. The Contracts are due to commence on 01/07/2024. The 7-year estimated contract values, based on predicted activity levels, are: Lot 1 = £33,703,069, Lot 2 = £19,862,595, Lot 3 = £30,920,240, Lot 4 = £21,533,552, Lot 5 = £18,120,336 Please note, the full indicative contract values per each financial year can be found in the tender documentation. Additional information: NHS England proposes an activity-based financial model with the following tariffs: • Routine digital screening (RS001) - £39.10 per screen. • Slit lamp bio-microscopy (SLB003) - £48.29 per screen. • Digital surveillance (DS002) - £39.10 per screen. • Prisons screening (PS004) - £78.21 per screen. • Forensics screening (FS005) - £58.65 per screen. The Commissioner's ambition through the financial model is to encourage uptake of DESP to achieve or exceed the national achievable target of 85% uptake in routine screening (DE1). The Services will be commissioned using the NHS DESP National Service Specification 23-24, localised where appropriate. National changes to screening frequency for low-risk individuals are expected to be implemented during the contract term which will have an impact on activity. The subsequent impact on contract values will be agreed between the Provider and the Commissioner via contract variation. Activity projections used in this procurement do not account for these future changes as further clarity around timeline and implementation guidance is expected in the future. Further information is provided in the tender documentation. Interested providers may bid for one, multiple or all lots. However, if successful across multiple lots following evaluation, bidders will be awarded no more than two lots. The Procurement is being managed by the NHS London Commercial Hub (NHS LCH) hosted by NEL ICB, on behalf of the Authority, in connection with a competitive Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise that is being conducted via a process, based in part on the open procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations" (as amended)). The Service falls within the scope of the Light Touch Regime (LTR) - Section 7 (Reg 74-76) of the Regulations governing procurement of Health, Social and related services listed under Schedule 3 of the Regulations. None of the references to "Open procedure", "ITT", the use of the term "tender process", or any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound to any of the Regulations, save those applicable to LTR provisions. The tendering process will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and flexibilities provided by Articles 74 to 76 of the Directive, and Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. The Authority will run a transparent tender process, treating all Bidders equally. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority will not be bound by the Regulations or the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or any other regulations or legislation except for the specific parts or circumstances that apply to the procurement of these Services. The Contracting Authority intends to voluntarily observe the award decision notices provisions and 10-day standstill period described in Regulation 86 of the Regulations.

North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking to establish a PHB (Personal Health Budget) Support Services Directory, specifically for individuals in receipt of a PHB Direct Payment or Third Party Budget. The Directory will contain several Providers (unlimited number) who have successfully completed the procurement exercise and can deliver a range of PHB management support services to a high-quality standard to individuals, within the NCL ICB geographical footprint. The Directory will be online and hosted on the ICB website. NCL ICB will accept bid submissions from any organisations including community, voluntary and domiciliary agencies who plan to work independently or in partnership to deliver PHB management support services. The PHB management support services will help NCL ICB to deliver its statutory duty to offer people who have been assessed as eligible to receive a PHB. This is in line with the National Health Service (Direct Payment) Regulations 2013 and 2014 and 2019 amendments. Eligible people will be encouraged by the ICB to use the Directory to choose Providers to work with, to receive and manage their one-off and/or on-going PHB. NCL ICB is responsible for allocating NHS budget and commissioning services. ICBs are a key change in the Health and Care Act and have replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups 'CCGs'.

North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking to establish a PHB (Personal Health Budget) Support Services Directory, specifically for individuals in receipt of a PHB Direct Payment or Third Party Budget. The Directory will contain several Providers (unlimited number) who have successfully completed the procurement exercise and can deliver a range of PHB management support services to a high-quality standard to individuals, within the NCL ICB geographical footprint. The Directory will be online and hosted on the ICB website. NCL ICB will accept bid submissions from any organisations including community, voluntary and domiciliary agencies who plan to work independently or in partnership to deliver PHB management support services. The PHB management support services will help NCL ICB to deliver its statutory duty to offer people who have been assessed as eligible to receive a PHB. This is in line with the National Health Service (Direct Payment) Regulations 2013 and 2014 and 2019 amendments. Eligible people will be encouraged by the ICB to use the Directory to choose Providers to work with, to receive and manage their one-off and/or on-going PHB. NCL ICB is responsible for allocating NHS budget and commissioning services. ICBs are a key change in the Health and Care Act and have replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups 'CCGs'.

NHS SEL ICB, hereafter referred to as 'Authority' wishes to commission a Lewisham Hypertension service. By raising awareness of hypertension and associated actions to reduce it, it is expected that the bidder will increase diagnosis rates in the targeted community as well as improve rates of self-management and care. Lewisham has the lowest rate in South East London of blood pressure that is controlled within the age-adjusted range of NICE thresholds amongst diagnosed hypertensive patients (and South East London overall has the lowest rate of blood pressure control amongst the five London ICS areas). At 55%, Lewisham is some distance from achieving the NHS England target of 80% of diagnosed hypertensive patients controlled within NICE thresholds by the end of March 2025. To achieve this target, an additional 8,500 people would need to bring their blood pressure under control (or more if we account for population growth, increasing hypertension prevalence and/or hypertension diagnosis rates improving), within the total current hypertensive population of 39,000 people. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled blood pressure increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, heart attack, kidney disease, dementia and many related poor health and life outcomes. The health inequalities profile of hypertension in Lewisham is also significant; with those not achieving good blood pressure control more likely to be younger (<60 years old), of Black African or Black Caribbean background, male and living in the two most deprived quintiles. The life-changing impacts and high human cost are therefore significant to individuals, their families and communities more widely. The Contract will commence on 01/01/2025 for an initial period of 2 years. The annual contract value is £50,000, therefore the total value of the contract is £100,000 (VAT inclusive, as applicable). The Procurement process will be facilitated entirely online via Atamis, the Authority's e-procurement portal. Interested Organisation must express an interest via Atamis.
