Further to the PIN published by the Department of Health (DH) and the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) in the Official Journal of the European Union ref 2015/S 231-389103 on the 30th October 2015 regarding the procurement of the future model for NHS procurement, supply chain and logistics services.

DH is to hold a Market Engagement Day at Quarry House, Leeds on October 27th 2016 specifically to present to the market the proposed logistics services contract of the Future Operating Model (FOM). The early engagement is to ascertain interest in the market for a potential 3 year term contract with two one year extension options, tied to performance outcomes. The prospective contract would be with a single provider on an open book plus management fee basis. The Market Engagement day will be in the form of presentations by DH explaining the FOM, logistics operation, procurement process, proposed contract and proposed payment model. It will also provide an opportunity for attendees to feedback to the DH both on the day and through follow up one-to-one engagement.
