This invitation to tender is for Tier 4 Bariatric & Weight Loss Service in Lancashire, Cumbria and Merseyside. Please note this may be extended to include NHS Cheshire CCG as a commissioning organisation to be added to the contract at a later date following the award of contract. This procurement is based on two lots around the geographical areas as detailed above: Lot 1: Lancashire and Cumbria CCGs and Lot 2: Merseyside CCGs (with Cheshire CCG potentially coming on board at a later stage). Providers will need to consider as part of their submission how the service will be accessible to the patient population within the lot’s geographical area that they bid for. It is anticipated that the referrals received by the successful provider(s) will be predominantly from patients registered within the lot’s geographical area. However due to patient choice, there will be an expectation that all successful providers from this procurement will still accept referrals from all patients across Lancashire, Cumbria and Merseyside. A maximum of 2 providers may be selected in each lot, one of which must be an NHS Acute provider. There will be a maximum of 4 providers across both lots. The highest scoring NHS Acute Provider for each lot will be recommended as a successful bidder. Secondary, the highest scoring bidder, whether this is another bidder from the NHS Acute sector or another bidder from the Independent Sector, they will also be recommended as a successful bidder. This lotting strategy and approach to awarding contracts is to ensure market stability and to ensure the availability of critical care facilities (provided by an NHS Acute Provider) as part of the Bariatric Emergency Pathway. The ITT will be live on Thursday 14th April 2022 on the MLCSU Bravo portal (see below) & it will have a deadline for submissions on Friday 27th May 2022 12:00pm. The contract is for 5 years with an option to extend for 2 years. The Commissioner reserves the right to reject bids that exceed the indicated budget. Any other public-sector body detailed within this notice, wishing to access the contract may do so only with permission from the contracting NHS body. The Indicative Financial Cost Envelope for Lancashire and Cumbria (based on 100% activity) is £1,401,139 per annum (at 2021/22 tariff prices). So 5 years total would be £7,005,695, with an option to extend for a further 2 years (£2,802,278) gives a total indicative contract value for Lot 1 of £9,807,973. The Indicative Financial Cost Envelope for Merseyside (including Wirral and Warrington) (based on 100% activity) is £1,865,210 per annum (at 2021/22 tariff prices).
