two.1.4) Short description
This procurement references the service and quality indicators expected by NHS England (the Commissioner) from the CHIS (the Service) to ensure that a high standard of service is provided to NHS England's responsible population.
The service specification is not designed to replicate, duplicate, or supersede any relevant legislative provisions which may apply, e.g. the Health and Social Care Act 2012, or the work undertaken by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). In the event of new guidance emerging, the specification will be reviewed and amended as quickly as possible, but, where necessary, both the Commissioner and the Provider will work proactively to agree speedy variations of contract ahead of a revised specification being produced.
Current immunisation, screening and other public health programmes may be subject to nationally prescribed changes in response to recommendations from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UKNSC) or the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) as advancements in evidence-based practice emerge. The Service, and its associated IT System, is expected to have the capability to adapt promptly to, and implement, such prescribed changes.
The Provider will not subcontract any element of the Service without the prior permission of the Commissioner.
Contract Length and value: The contract for the Service is 5 years (1st April 2024 -31st March 2029) with an option to extend for a further two years.
The Procurement process will be facilitated entirely online via ProContract portal. Interested Applicants wishing to participate in the procurement must register, express an interest and complete the online questionnaires hosted on the portal prior to the deadline for submission. A timetable for the procurement, guidance re: process, and supplementary information relating to each contract opportunity is also available from the portal.
This Tender process is being managed by NHS London Shared Service (NEL Commissioning Support Unit) on behalf of The Authority in connection with a competitive procurement exercise that is being conducted in accordance with a process based on the Open Procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations" (as amended)).

Neither the reference to "Open Procedure", "ITT", "SQ", the use of the term "Tender process", nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Contracting Authority intends to hold itself bound to any of the Regulations, save those applicable to LTR provisions.
