Non-Emergency Patient Transport - NHS Shropshire CCG / NHS Telford & Wrekin CCG

Tender description

NHS Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group and Powys Teaching Health Board jointly wish to invite prospective providers to express their interest for the provision of Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPTS) for eligible patients within the local healthcare population. A non-emergency transport service is provided for patients, both adults and children, who have a medical condition which prevents them from using other forms of transport to travel to and from healthcare appointments. It is not for people who require transport for financial or social reasons, or for those requiring an immediate or emergency response. The Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service will provide 24/7, 365 days per year transportation services to patients assessed as eligible for the service. Please refer to the tender documents for the full details. The CCG's are looking to appoint a service provider or consortium to deliver this service for a period of 5 years with an optional 24 months extension available. The successful provider will be required to sign the prevailing NHS Standard Contract for the service and accept all terms and conditions. Please note this contract will service the newly created/merged organisations (previously) NHS Shropshire CCG and NHS Telford & Wrekin CCG, which are due to create a new organisation from the 1st April 2021.
