NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands CSU on behalf of NHS Coventry & Warwickshire ICB are seeking to carry out a market engagement event with those providers with suitable knowledge and experience to provide a Non-Emergency patient transport service for patients in the Coventry and Warwickshire area.

The main hospital sites covered by this service are University Hospital Coventry, Hospital of St Cross (Rugby), Warwick Hospital and George Eliot Hospital (Nuneaton). There is also a requirement to carry out cross-place and out of area transport requests as appropriate. It is intended that this service will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year with the successful provider working closely with acute, mental health and community healthcare settings to ensure capacity aligns with patient attendance patterns. It is anticipated that any contract let will be for an initial 5 years with an option to extend for a further 5 years.

Further details regarding this requirement can be found in the service specification which is available to download from the Atamis portal.

The ICB intends to hold a market engagement event on Tuesday 15th July at 9.30am.
