Arden & GEM CSU and the Commissioners are seeking to procure a service from a suitably qualified provider for a Genetics Service to Support the Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Service across the West Midlands. The requirements are for genetic screening (Index Test) and follow up familial screening (Cascade Test) service. The contract period is 2 years with a 1 year extension option at the discretion of the Commissioners. Service commencement is by 20 February 2017; up to a 3 month mobilisation period has been allowed. Estimated activity figures have been provided in the tender documents; as the service has not been procured across the West Midlands previously, a guarantee of future activity cannot be given. Consideration has been given to dividing this tender into Lots. A single Lot will be used to procure the service as estimated activity levels are not commercially attractive to the market (following market feedback) and value for money cannot be evidenced. An Affordability Threshold will be applied to returned bids; full details are included in the tender documents. Note that the estimated contract value has been calculated using the maximum Index and Cascade unit prices included in the tender documents and the estimated activity figures provided over a 3 year period.

Note that the parties to the contract will be Birmingham Cross City Clinical Commissioning Group acting for itself and on behalf of the 21 West Midlands Clinical Commissioning Groups named in this Notice and in the tender documents, and the successful Bidder.
