## Description
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust intends to establish a framework agreement for the supply for Acute Inpatient Services whereby Independent Sector Providers (ISP) provide “appropriate” adult acute mental health beds, enabling care to be delivered as close to home for males and females
The intention is to enter into a Framework for an initial period of 36 months with an options to extend for 1 x 12 month periods.
The Services have been divided into the following packages (Lots):
Lot 1 – Block of 10 Beds for Patients 50+ years
Lot 2 – Block of 8 Beds for Patients 50+ years
Lot 3 – Block of 10 Beds for Patients 18+ years
Lot 4 – Block of 10 Beds for Patients 18+ years
Lot 5 – Spot Purchase of Beds for Ad Hoc requirements
HTE intends to a single provider to Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4. Whereas Lot 5 will be unrestricted in the number of providers appointed.
HTE intends to appoint a minimum of two (2) suppliers across Lots 1 to 4 collectively. Award decisions will therefore apply award rules that may result in a supplier not being awarded a lot for which they are otherwise the highest‑scoring bidder, where this is necessary to meet the minimum supplier requirement
