What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionProviders within the marketplace are being given notice of NHSE's intention to reopen the Independent Investigations Framework.
The framework was originally awarded as a bespoke process and is being re-opened under the “light touch regime” of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as described in the original Contracts Award Notice 2019/S 214-526090. The Framework will re-open with the original requirements of completion of a Qualification Questionnaire to qualify for acceptance onto the framework agreement.
The framework is split into five lots:
Lot 1 - Individual Independent Investigations
Lot 2 - Partnership Investigations
Lot 3 - Local Care Systems
Lot 4 - Health & Social Care & Partners Investigations
Lot 5 - Systematic Independent Investigations
We intend to reopen the Framework in May 2022.
Further information will be available when the framework is reopened. This notice is not a call for competition.
