AQP TOPS and Audiology Service Re-Issue

North East London CSU on behalf of the below noted London Clinical Commissioning Groups, is seeking to engage with the market in order to establish the level of additional interest to join two currently running AQP frameworks namely - Termination of Pregnancy (TOPS) and Audiology Services - Adult Hearing Services.

TOPS AQP ONLY

NHS Barnet NHS Enfield NHS Haringey NHS Islington NHS Barking & Dagenham NHS Havering NHS Redbridge NHS Waltham Forest

Audiology Services AQP ONLY

NHS Enfield

NHS Camden – also very interested to hear from providers of ear wax removal services

The mentioned CCGs currently contract with a number providers through the Any Qualified Provider (AQP) frameworks for TOPS and Audiology - Adult Hearing Services. Commissioners are now giving consideration to re-opening the AQP windows for both services in order to give the opportunity for interested NEW providers to apply. Before going to market, they would like to gauge the number of interested new providers in the market

As a repeat window, the intention, if re-issued, would be to continue with the current service models of delivery. For guidance purposes only at this present time, please see attached the original specification documentation attached. Note that these specifications will be subject to minor adjustments/ amendments in order to bring them up to date with the present legislation and any other minor changes.

Please note that this notice is NOT an Expression of Interest within a formal tendering process; Commissioners are merely keen to establish at this point the level of additional interest and experience in the marketplace to deliver the services described.

This notice does not commit the named London CCGs to re-issue the AQP services and the CCGs have the right to withdraw the notice.

Interested organisations should kindly complete the attached form and return via email to Joyce Angoma at clinical.procurement@nelcsu.nhs.uk

This engagement exercise will close at 3:00pm on Monday 4th July 2016.
