Tender description

NHS Hillingdon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is considering its future Commissioning Strategy for the Provision of Level 3 Consultant-Led Community Dermatology Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service CATS. The service will form part of an integrated Dermatology service across primary and secondary care for the population of Hillingdon. This will entail working closely with GPs, Acute Specialist Service Departments (Level 4) and specialist skin cancer services. There will also be a need to develop links with the local skin cancer multidisciplinary team, RM Partners, and other secondary care specialities such as plastic surgery and Level 4 secondary care dermatology services. ***Interested Parties Are Asked to Express Their Interest In the Opportunity by Completing and Returning the Pre-Event Questionnaire Found at: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b37fea7-eb94-47ba-b661-620f3766b0ff to: tom_baker@nhs.net Referencing 'Hillingdon Community Dermatology' in the Title. The Deadline for Expressions of Interest is 17:00 on Tuesday 22.8.2017***. The CCG anticipates publishing a Contract Notice to commence procurement during December 2017. The submission of an expression of interest is not a prerequisite to any subsequent procurement application; however the response to this market engagement advert will help to inform the CCG's commissioning approach, including whether a competitive process will be appropriate, i.e. a lack of expressions of interest may be used to evidence the appropriateness to award a contract direct without a competition.
