The ICB is seeking Requests for Quotes (RFQs) for the following Services: Lot 1 - Transforming Care & Treatment Review (CTR) and Care, Education & Treatment Review (CETR) Support. A service which supports the Transforming Care, Education & Treatment Review (C(E)TR) Process. The service will deliver on co production, support the C(E)TR process & self-advocacy in relation to the Transforming Care agenda & provide the necessary governance & assurance that a high quality service is being delivered. Lot 2 - Training & Development to Support Transforming Care. The training team will provide training & development to health & social care staff when requested & in line with the Transforming Care agenda & value of subscriptions. Training will be provided from a pre prepared schedule of work from new developments funded by subscribers. The ICB would like to invite providers to submit bids for the above services, by registering & completing a brief questionnaire on the Atamis e-sourcing portal (https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome). The deadline for RFQs is Tuesday 6th February 2024 15:00pm. As part of this process, the ICB is intending to identify one provider to deliver lot 1 and one provider to deliver lot 2. Bidders can bid for more than one lot: they can bid for both lot 1 and lot 2, or just lot 1 or just lot 2. Should providers have any queries, or have any problems using the portal, they should contact the Atamis Helpdesk (health@atamis.co.uk). The relevant reference number for this tender is C235729. The ICB has set affordability thresholds for the above lots: Lot 1: Bidders who submit prices for each cost over the maximum values stated in Annex 1, Table 5, their bid will be regarded as non compliant. The indicative contract value for this lot is £42,000 per annum, based on 100 C(E)TRs (this activity is not guaranteed and should be used a guide only). Lot 2: Bidders who submit a price over the maximum contract value of £43,000 per annum, their bid will be regarded as non compliant. Non Compliant bids will be regarded as a failed bid and the rest of the bid will be rejected & the scoring questions in each lot will not be evaluated. This will be checked during the preliminary stages of the evaluation during the compliance checks. The ICB may seek clarification on bids that are unusually low or above the affordability threshold. The ICB reserves the right to evaluate the full bid concurrently rather than undertake a staged evaluation if required. For lot 1 and lot 2, each contract period will be for 2 years with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years commencing 01/06/2024.
