Request for Quotation - Special Allocation Scheme (formerly Violent Patient Scheme) in North Nottinghamshire

Tender description

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of NHS England North Midlands (the Commissioner), is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to provide a quote in order to deliver a Special Allocation Scheme (formerly Violent Patient Scheme) in North Nottinghamshire. This scheme will provide primary care services to patients who have been immediately removed from their GP practice with a view to rehabilitating patients back to mainstream GP services. The service is expected to be fully operational, providing services from 1st November 2018. The NHS England Standard Alternative Provider Medical ServicesContract will apply to any contract arising from this quotation. The expectation is that the service provision will be from two locations, one in Mansfield and Ashfield and another in Newark and Sherwood. However, the Commissioner is willing to consider alternative proposals such as service delivery from a single location, providing that the bidder can clearly demonstrate how the service will be equally accessible to patients from across the geographical area. The contract is due to commence on 01 November 2018 and will be for 3 years with the option to extend for a further 1 year (i.e. a maximum 4 year contract term). The total Contract Value is capped at £30,000 per annum over the 3 year contract term and the extension period if applicable. The full scope of services are detailed in Document 1 (Special Allocation Scheme Service Specification) and indicative activity is included in Document 6. If you are interested in quoting for this requirement please complete and return Documents 3 and 4 no later than 2pm on Friday 5th October 2018, setting out how your organisation meets the evaluation criteria contained within Document 2 - List of RFQ Questions and evaluation criteria.
