two.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU), on behalf of
The NHS Commissioning Board operating as NHS England - Specialised Commissioning
(referred to as the Commissioner), ran an Expression of Interest exercise for this service to gauge the potential market interest and capability as a Schedule 3 Service under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The initial notice indicated that providers willing to Express an Interest would be required to respond to a series of questions which would be scored on a "Pass/Fail" basis. The scoring criteria for each question was stipulated within the questions. Only providers who scored a "Pass" on all "Pass/Fail" questions would be deemed compliant & capable. Depending on the outcome of the Expressions of Interest, the Commissioner reserved the right to direct award to provider(s) with no further competition where there is a single provider expressing an interest and scored a "Pass" on all "Pass/Fail" questions. The notice also stated that, depending on the number of providers who Express an Interest and score a "Pass" on all "Pass/Fail" questions, the Commissioner may seek to undertake a Provider selection process.
Through this process, no award was made and therefore the process was abandoned. The Commissioner then undertook a provider selection exercise to which the respondents from the initial expression of interest exercise were invited.
A single response was received to the provider selection exercise and evaluation was undertaken in accordance with the published information and an award has been made.
