UK SBS PS16097 - Medical and Dental Services to the British Antarctic Survey (BAS)

Tender description

‘This is not a Call for Competition.’ British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has an on-going requirement for the provision of a comprehensive medical service, including peripatetic dental services for its employees, visitors, collaborators and contractors working at research stations in the Antarctic region and on research vessels and in associated air units. Similar requirements may also be required from time to time at other locations worldwide where BAS has a scientific research interest or might have in the future such as in the Arctic. This requirement is subject to minimum conditions and standards which must be fulfilled, however, BAS also has a number of non-mandatory (desirable) arrangements that may be of value to its operations and is open overall to explore with the market any new innovations aimed at improving and developing remote health care provision in general. BAS is interested to explore the market to understand what advancements in medical and dental practices might be appropriate to the BAS requirement and the opportunities that might provide increased value for money. Services are anticipated to commence in November 2016 British Antarctic Survey, working closely with UK SBS is to host an Industry Day to be held during w/c 4th July 2016 in Cambridge.
