Explanation
In February 2018 2 separate procurement processes in Kent & Medway and Sussex were commenced for services including NHS111 Services (Please note Sussex followed an Open Process). However the decision to discontinue the 2 processes was taken by the Commissioners following concerns that the processes did not adequately demonstrate Value for Money (VFM) and could not result in a contract award across all of the services for which suppliers had been sought.
Furthermore to enable the new procurement process(es) with sufficient mobilisation period, which was a key point raised by bidders at the Kent Market Engagement Event, this 1-year contract has become necessary to ensure continuation of supply of a critical service to the patient population of the participating clinical commissioning groups.
The procurement of the NHS111 and Clinical Assessment Service is due to commence in January 2019 and a market engagement event is scheduled for 17.1.2019; a prior information notice will be published in relation to the forth-coming procurement and market engagement event by the 31.12.2018.
