While the Contracting Authorities have elected for this procurement process to use an approach similar to the CPN procedure, the procurement is being undertaken under the LTR and the Contracting Authorities have created a process to be followed as outlined in the ITT. For the avoidance of doubt, regulation 29 of the PCR 2015 will not apply. The Contracting Authorities will follow the PCR 2015 principles of transparency, equal treatment and non-discrimination in conducting this procurement.
Any interested organisation, Consortium or a collaboration with the experience, capability and capacity to deliver the ambition laid out in the tender documents may submit a tender return in response to this ITT. The Contracting Authorities welcome collaborations and partnerships, subject to them appointing a lead to act on their behalf as the lead contracting party taking overall responsibility for delivery of the CCH Service in accordance with the requirements of the Contract.
The Contracting Authorities will be NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB (SHICB), NHS Frimley ICB, National Health Service England (South East) (“NHSE”) and Surrey County Council (SCC) (collectively known as the “Contracting Authorities”).
