two.2.14) Additional information
This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit BNSSG CCG or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. Commissioners are looking to establish the level of interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified, capable and competent organisations.
BNSSG CCG will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. Interested parties should note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an automatic invitation to any subsequent formal procurement, which the commissioners will consider in due course.
