What is being bought4 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionNorth of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement (Cumbria and the North East), who are conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise in order to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to deliver General Dental Access Services across the North East and North Cumbria.
It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published on Find and Tender Service and on Contracts Finder.
It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended 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.
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 and complete the RFI documentation.
Should you have any queries, or are having problems registering on the portal, you should contact the eTendering provider by Email: [email protected] or by phone 0844 2728810 Website: in-tendhost.co.uk/nhsnecsu/aspx/Home ↗
Potential 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.
Completed RFI responses must be returned by 12:00 noon on 15 December 2021.
Following review of returned RFI responses, should the commissioner wish to seek further clarification to any part of the responses, one-to-one meetings will be scheduled for week commencing 03 January 2022. Providers will be made aware of these arrangements via the In-Tend system on or before 24 December 2021.
