OUHFT: Market Engagement - Development of Private Patient Business

To participate in OUH’s market engagement process, please register your interest by noting interest on the portal. You will then be given access to a questionnaire relating to OUH’s market engagement process.

All parties who wish to participate in this market engagement process are asked to complete and submit this questionnaire by Thursday 8 April 2021.

If clarification is required by OUH in respect of any submitted questionnaire, OUH (in its sole discretion) may request respondents to attend a clarification meeting and/or respond to any clarification in writing.

Any clarification meetings will be held by Teams in the second half of April 2021.

Following the market engagement process, OUH may decide to embark on a process to procure a partner (or possibly different partners for different sites/ specialties). OUH wishes to confirm that they may decide not to commence such a procurement process.

It is stressed that involvement (or not) in this market engagement process shall in no way affect any party’s future participation in any procurement process initiated by OUH. If private hospital operators do not wish to engage in this market engagement process, this will not in any way preclude them from participating in any subsequent procurement process. OUH also wishes to confirm that anything discussed during the market engagement process will not have any bearing on the evaluation of parties during any subsequent evaluation process.

OUH shall have no liability for any costs howsoever incurred by those participating in this market engagement process. Additional information: The estimated date of publication of contract notice set out in II.3 will be reviewed following the conclusion of the market engagement process.
