Following the success of the ICF, NHS England intends to invite additional providers to apply for a broader range of services and extended term. This PIN provides early notification of the intention to launch such a procurement in December 2021. The services in scope are: - NHS inpatient and outpatient (including full supporting pathology and imaging) services and urgent elective care and cancer treatment to service users in line with nationally set criteria; - NHS inpatient non-elective care (either direct admission or transfer from an NHS organisation). The framework agreement may be accessed by all CCGs and NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts across England ## CPV classification Health services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-02fc56-2021-12-02T10:51:50Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-02fc56-2021-12-02T10:51:50Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
