NHS Brent is acting as the lead commissioner for this service and a draft specification, Memorandum of Information (MOI) and questionnaire is attached to this advert. Interested providers are invited to respond to this market engagement: to read and provide feedback in regard to the draft service specification and the MOI that sets the context for this service and the aims of the CCGs, noting key outcomes for the HNCI Service are: Delivery of a service model based upon the need to provide good access to specialist service for patients. Integrating with current services commissioned by the commissioners for their respective patient populations including other health services, social care, voluntary and community resources). The CCGs' current intentions are to award a new contract for delivery of the service for a period of 3 years, with the option to extend for a further 2. The total maximum potential contract value will be £1,600,000. Current plans are for a procurement process to commence during April 2017. The CCGs intend to take a decision on the route to award this contract based upon the responses to this market engagement advert. You are therefore encouraged to respond to all questions as fully as you can to evidence the relative benefits of a potential competitive process. A lack of responses may be taken by the CCGs as evidence that a competitive process is not appropriate. ***PLEASE COMPLETE THE ATTACHED QUESTIONNAIREAND SEND YOUR RESPONSE TO alice_donovan1@nhs.net by midday, Thursday 23 March 2017.
