two.1.4) Short description
Following a successful pilot, NHS England (NHSE) is substantively commissioning specialised healthcare interventions (non-surgical) within a primary care setting that is appropriate to service the population in Greater Manchester, for adults on the NHS pathway of care for the treatment of gender dysphoria. Providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver the service requirements are invited to take part in a procurement process that will result in a single contract being let. The two-stage process will first test provider capability and capacity, then shortlisted providers will be invited to submit substantive service delivery proposals.
The successful provider will utilise a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, and the service will be delivered in compliance with NHSE's published service specification (provided with this notice). The service will provide assessment of individuals for the purpose of diagnosis and will provide (or arrange access to) healthcare interventions for those who receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria as described in the service specification.
The contract is currently expected to commence in December 2023, though this is subject to mobilisation timings and therefore this date may be delayed (at the commissioner's sole discretion).
The contract term will be 5 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years (at commissioner discretion). The indicative contract value at this stage is up to £1,773,000 p/a recurring and up to £100,000 to cover mobilisation costs (if required, and at the commissioner's sole discretion). The commissioner reserves the right to add related service elements and funding during the contract if they deem it to be necessary.
