In plain English
This is a framework agreement, a pre-approved list of suppliers, for clinical diagnosis and treatment services across nine medical specialities. NHS bodies and other listed public organisations can then buy from it directly to help reduce patient waiting lists. The framework is estimated at £15,000,000, runs for 2 years with an optional 1-year extension, and cannot be used by authorities in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
What the buyer wants
• Provide clinical diagnosis and treatment services under one or more of the 9 lots: Dermatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Audiology, Ophthalmology, ENT, Gastroenterology, Urology, Endoscopy and Managed Services. • Deliver services that meet the highest industry standards and support Beneficiaries with their current and future day-to-day requirements. • Help Beneficiaries manage waiting lists within their services so they can meet NHS targets.
Lots
- Lot 1 - Dermatology
- Lot 2 - Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS)
- Lot 3 - Audiology
- Lot 4 - Ophthalmology
- Lot 5 - Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT)
- Lot 6 - Gastroenterology
- Lot 7 - Urology
- Lot 8 - Endoscopy
- Lot 9 - Managed Services
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state specific qualifications, turnover thresholds or certifications, but the work is specialist clinical care across nine medical specialities, so a small business without established clinical provision in one of these lots is unlikely to be a fit.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
Where to apply
The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
