Lymphoedema Service for Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge CCGs, BHR/020

NHS Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge Clinical Commissioning Groups, (BHR CCGs) may in the future wish to commission a Lymphoedema service with a view for the service to be in place by the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Commissioners wish to consult with providers about their intended approach prior to commissioning the services and commencing a procurement exercise.

This engagement will comprise Q&A’s to gather feedback from providers on the draft specification and cost of the service. The following attachments are available to interested parties to further inform the submission of the questionnaire response. (1) Market Engagement Questionnaire (2) Draft Service Specification. Respondents are requested to specifically address the questions rather than attaching extensive technical or promotional information as such information will not be considered.

We would welcome a response from your organisation. As part of this Market Engagement exercise we are requesting bidders to complete a short questionnaire and submit it via the Pro-Contract portal (https://procontract.due-north.com/Login/) by 13 March 2018. Please note this is purely a market assessment exercise to gather facts on potential providers and assist the CCGs with testing their assumptions and proposed service requirements. Any future potential procurement, if undertaken, will be a separate exercise.
