SURREY INTEGRATED URGENT CARE PRE-MARKET ENGAGEMENT OCTOBER 2017 FURTHER UPDATE 29 SEPTEMBER 2017

To note further documentation ( draft specification and a comments form ) have also been uploaded. See Section 5 - Attachments

NHS North West Surrey CCG as Lead Commissioner on behalf of four Surrey CCGs is hosting two pre-market engagement events in regard to the Integrated Urgent Care Procurement opportunity anticipated for launch in January 2018. The objective of these events is to consult on a number of facets within the service specification. We recommend attendance at both events as the second will reflect the feedback and subsequent changes made to the service specification as a direct result of the first.

Following consultation at engagement events in December 2016 and August 2017 the market strongly supported this pre-market engagement approach toward the procurement as opposed to a two stage ITT approach with negotiation.

The events will be held at Dorking Halls, Reigate Road, Dorking, Surrey RH4 1SJ on Wednesday 4th October 2017 and Thursday 19th October 2017. The running order for the days is detailed below. Delegates are asked to separately register for each day

Agendas for each day and details of how to register are provided in the Attachment section.

Additional information: To note the 2 additional documents uploaded for pre reading prior to the event on the 4th of October 2017, plus a comments form for potential providers to offer comments on the draft Specification.

This commentary document should be returned to the Commissioners in accordance with the instructions contained in the document, by 16:00 on 11 October 2017.

An expression of interest to attend this Pre-Market Engagement is no indication of a commitment to participate in the future tender process nor does it infer any special status on those Providers who do attend. An expression of interest in this event will not automatically entitle involvement in any future procurement exercise. Any procurement conducted as a result of this event will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the advertisement as and when it is published. Providers who do not attend this Market Engagement Event will still be able to apply for the Procurement in the future. Please note that this Market Engagement Event does not represent a formal stage in the procurement process and attendance will play no part in any subsequent evaluation process.
