This tender process is being managed by NEL CSU (NEL) on behalf of Hounslow Clinical Commissioning Group (the “Contracting Authority”) in connection with a competitive procurement exercise that is being conducted in accordance with a process based on the open procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations” (as amended)). The services to which this Procurement relates fall within the “Light Touch Regime” (LTR) governing procurement of health, social, education and other service contracts. Neither the reference to “Open Procedure”, “ITT”, “PQQ/SQ”, the use of the term “Tender process” nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Contracting Authority intends to hold itself bound to any of the regulations, save those applicable to LTR provisions.
The contract will be for a period of 11 months. The caretaking contract will take effect from Wednesday 1.5.2019 until 31.3.2020 (unless terminated earlier or extended by Hounslow CCG).
Prospective bidders are requested to note that, due to operational necessity, the start date for this contract is 1.5.2019, therefore the mobilisation start date is 2 weeks from contract award. Please only submit a response if you can achieve the very tight mobilisation period.
The indicative 11 months contract value, based on a weighted patient list of 8365.29 (as at 1.4.2018), is 876 243,21 GBP (ex VAT). This value does not include payment for enhanced services such as extended hours and local enhanced services.
