ONE HMG HEALTHCARE SERVICE PROVISION

Tender description

Access to NHS standards of healthcare for HMG staff and family members serving overseas The aim of the scheme is to provide access to NHS standards of medical and dental care, as far as practicable, for staff and qualifying dependants posted overseas. Where this is not practicable, the risks must be understood by the Contractor and made clear to the Authority and Users. The service requirement is complex and challenging. The Contractor will be required to provide access to medical and dental care worldwide in all types of environments. The Contractor must also be able to refer cases back into the NHS system or the Defence Medical Services (DMS) when required. The user populations are varied and include many foreign-born staff members and partners who may not have automatic entitlement to the NHS; this will provide a challenge for the Contractor to look at innovative solutions to the provision of care for this group. Central management of the contract will be in London, United Kingdom. Service delivery is required globally Additional information: The Contracting Authority intends to use an e-tendering system for the procurement. Please also note that this is a joint procurement and all HMG departments will be eligible to join and use the contract services, including: Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) FCO Services Department for International Development - DFID Home Office: UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) Home Office: Border Force Home Office: Immigration Enforcement International and Immigration Intelligence Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Ministry of Defence (MoD) National Crime Agency (NCA) Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) The Stabilisation Unit (SU) Scottish Government Scottish Enterprise (SE) Department for Transport (DfT) The Executive Office (Northern Ireland) (TEO) The Cabinet Office Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
