Description

NHS Devon CCG is looking for registrations of interest for attendance to a market engagement event for a Community Minor Injuries Service on Wednesday 13th July 2022 via MS Teams. The engagement exercise by NHS Devon CCG will inform the development of the CCG's approach to delivering a pan-Devon minor injuries service. The CCG is seeking to provide a community-based, minor injuries service to patients of all ages who live or are temporarily resident in Devon; the service is required 7 days a week. The CCG is looking for providers who are interested in helping the CCG in developing this service, including any innovative solutions which might support patient access across the range of geography and demography in Devon. The CCG's strategy is to support patients to access the right care, first time, close to home wherever possible and, building on the ambitions of the long-term plan, this is likely to mean around 40,000 patients a year being seen in the community minor injuries service.

This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit the Authority or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The Authority will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but is instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). Any future tendering process will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and flexibilities provided by Articles 74 to 76 of the Directive, and Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. The Authority will run a transparent tender process, treating all Bidders equally. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority will not be bound by the Regulations or any other regulations or legislation except for the specific parts or circumstances that apply to the procurement of these Services. Neither the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage, nor the use of any language or terms found in the Directive or Regulations, nor the description of the procedure voluntarily adopted by the Authority ("Open", "Restricted", "Competitive Procedure with Negotiation", "Competitive Dialogue" or any other description), nor any other indication, shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound by the Directive or Regulations, save by the provisions applicable to services coming within the scope of Annex XIV of the Directive / Schedule 3 of the Regulations. There is a Market Engagement Event for Community Minor Injuries Services which will be held on Wednesday 13th July 2022 between 13:30 and 16:30 via MS Teams.
