NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of the Commissioners, NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group (HVCCG) (Lead Commissioner) and NHS East and North Hertfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (ENHCCG), would like to invite potential Bidders and interested parties to attend a 'Market Engagement Event' for the anticipated publish of a competitive tender for Wheelchair Services, for the registered populations of the Commissioners. To date the commissioners have identified the following as some of the key attributes which will be required of the service: • Improve the pace of delivery of children's and adults' wheelchairs. • A focus on continuous service improvement. The Provider will proactively identify opportunities to improve the quality, speed and efficiency of the service. They will also be responsive to issues and challenges faced, addressing them with solutions. • Demonstrate innovative and efficient stock control and procurement of wheelchairs, accessories, parts, and bespoke seating to minimise the time it takes to provide a Service User with their wheelchair. • Implement a step change in patient choice and control, through the articulation of a clear NHS offer and eligibility criteria, the mainstreaming of Personal Wheelchair Budgets, service user recorded outcome measures, and consistent use of Service User engagement and feedback. • Ensure that the right data is captured, in the right way and at the right time, so that the service and Commissioners can identify issues early and implement timely responses to them. The Market Engagement Event will take place on 16th March 2020, 10:30am - 12:30pm The Event will provide: • An overview of the service being tendered; • An overview of the CCG's requirements and aims for the service; • An overview of the procurement process; • An opportunity for the market to ask questions about the service and procurement, • A final opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed Light Touch Regime (of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) procurement process and proposed service requirements.
