Description

North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) are working for and on behalf of NHS South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and are issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) to alert the market to a possible future tender opportunity for a No-Scalpel Vasectomy Service for the residents of South Tyneside. The contract term is 3 years with effect from 01 October 2021, with an option to extend for an additional period of 2 years at the discretion of the Contracting Authority and subject to satisfactory financial and contractual performance. The proposed financial threshold for this procurement is £212,778 over the five-year life of the contract. It is important to note that this PIN is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder (approximately April 2021). It should be noted that this PIN is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process.

Potential providers are to note that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended) may apply to a future procurement including the New Fair Deal non-statutory policy setting out how pensions issues are to be dealt with when staff are compulsorily transferred from the public sector to independent providers delivering public services. The anticipated tender live date for this procurement opportunity is 06th April 2021.
