Tender description

North of England Commissioning Support is working for and on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement and NHS North East Lincolnshire Commissioning Group (the Contracting Authorities) and is managing the request for information process to determine interest in delivering Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) for two locations in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire with an anticipated service start date of 1 August 2022. The Contracting Authority is issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the market and to gather information in order to gain a better understanding of both the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed services. The desired services must be GP led and provided by GPs, nurses and other clinical professionals. A provider must be registered to provide General Practitioner Services, be an active part of one of the 5 Primary Care Networks that exist within North East Lincolnshire, and must meet all additional requirements outlined in the RFI found on the electronic tendering portal (In-Tend). It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI exercise. NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal (In-Tend) to manage this RFI and as such interested individuals and organisations will need to register on the portal to access the RFI documentation and submit their completed RFI. The In-Tend e-Tendering portal can be found at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu/aspx/Home Please follow the registration instructions (if you are not already registered) and look for the project NHSE878 APMS RFI Weelsby View and Humberview.

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services. The RFI documentation will be accessible from 6 May 2022 and completed RFI responses must be submitted by 20 May 2022.
