This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. A Request for Information is no indication of a commitment to participate in any subsequent tender process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest.\nNECS is utilising an electronic tendering tool to manage this RFI exercise and communicate with potential providers. Accordingly, there will be no hard copy documents issued to potential providers and all communications with NECS, including RFI submissions, will be conducted via Atamis: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome\nIf you have already registered on the system (e.g. to access contracts with another Health Family organisation) then there is no need to re-register.\nIf you have not already done so you should now register as a Supplier on the shared system.\nYou can register here: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome\nIt is free to register on the portal and it can be accessed at any time of day providing you have a working internet connection. If you find that you need any advice or support in registering, please contact the Atamis helpdesk using the following details:\nPhone: 0800 9956035\nE-mail: support-health@atamis.co.uk\nOpening times 8am - 6pm\nAn Atamis Supplier guide can be accessed by clicking on this link:\nhttps://atamis-1928.my.salesforce.com\nPLEASE NOTE: You may be asked if you wish to merge your account with an existing organisation. This is based on a number of criteria including the domain name of your email address, so please ensure that you do register with your official work email address.\nThe Request for Information will be available on the e-tendering site on: 19 January 2024.\nPotential providers are to note that 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.\nCompleted RFI questionnaires must be submitted by: 23:59pm on 04 February 2024.\nFollowing review of returned RFI responses, should the commissioner wish to seek further clarification to any part of the responses, further market engagement may be carried out. Providers will be made aware of these arrangements via the Atamis system."
