II.2.4) Description of the procurement
PIN NOTICE
This is an opportunity notice (Prior Information Notice (PIN)) to communicate that NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (NHS HWE ICB) invites all suitable providers to attend a Market Engagement Event for the establishment of an Enhanced Health in Care Homes service
The purpose of this combined Prior Information Notice (PIN) is:
1. to invite interested providers to an MS Teams online market engagement in order to gain more information for a proposed procurement for Enhanced Health in Care Homes
2. to sight interested providers on a Request for Information (RFI) document to be completed before the above event (which is voluntary and is mutually exclusive to the provider event above, but completion will support commissioner approach)
The deadline for the submission of the RFI is 12 Noon 4th March 2024
For the removal of doubt this PIN is not a call for competition.
Market engagement is being conducted in two ways:
(i) inviting interested providers to attend a market engagement event via Microsoft Teams Webinar on 13th March 2024
(ii) interested providers are being asked to kindly complete and return a response to the RFI questionnaire which sets out a number of key questions that commissioners are considering in supporting the design of the model of approach for Enhanced Health in Care Homes in East and North Hertfordshire.
All interested providers must register at the Attain e-procurement portal at https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/ and then navigate to (sq_101 Market engagement Event - Enhanced Health in Care Homes for NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board) in order to complete and return the market engagement booking form and RFI form.
The deadline to express an interest is 12 Noon Monday 4th March 2024.
