Urgent Care Services Market Engagement Event- Central London

NHS Central London CCG is seeking to engage with suitably qualified and experienced providers to inform the appropriate route to market for delivering services from the Urgent Care Centre at St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London.

***A market engagement event is due to take place on THURSDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2015 at a venue close to Marylebone High Street within the NW1 area of London. Exact venue details to be confirmed and supplied on application***.

As part of the event there will be an opportunity for providers to network.

The contract value relating to the above services is estimated to be in the region of £3.5m - £4.5m. If the CCG decides to undertake a formal procurement process then this is anticipated to commence at the end of October/early November 2015 through a notice on Contracts Finder, with the intention to have a contract awarded by December 2015 and for services to commence by the end of December 2015/ January 2016.

The CCG is keen to encourage interest from small and medium enterprises and therefore consortia or groups of bidders to provide the single service are welcome, as well as larger providers.

The service is expected to be delivered to patients registered within the CCG's boundaries and also to visitors to the borough of Westminster including those arriving via major transport hubs.

Note: An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in any subsequent procurement process nor does it infer any special status on those providers who do submit an interest. Neither will this notice or any organisation’s expression of interest commit the CCG to undertake any procurement of the Urgent Care Service & the CCG has a right to withdraw the notice.
