Lot 2: The current service provides an average of 161 referrals per year in East Sussex.
Lot 1: Value of contract for Brighton £90,500 per annum. Total over contract period (3 + 2 year option) = £452,500
Lot 2: Value of contract for East Sussex £74,000 per annum. Total over contract period (3 + 2 year option) = £370,000
Approach to market date:
Contract start date = 1st April 2023
Contract end date = 31st March 2028 (based on a 3 + 2 year option contract)
The aim of the service is to increase awareness of the benefits of physical activity when undergoing treatment for cancer and recovering from cancer. The long-term aim of this service is to reduce cancer mortality rates and improve the general health and wellbeing for patients.
This programme aims to strengthen interventions along cancer care pathways and ensure that cancer survivors feel supported and have an improved quality of life.
It is anticipated that the service would be offered for tender for Lot 1 and 2 under a standard NHS contract for a period of 3 years commencing on the 1st April 2023 with option to extend for a maximum of a further 2 years.
The purpose of this PIN is to gauge market interest for the provision of a Physical Activity Programme for Cancer patients across 2 Lots, with Lot 1 in Brighton and Hove and Lot 2 in East Sussex. A Service Specification has been developed which is aligned to the vision, mission and values of the Surrey and Surrey Cancer Alliance and the NHS Sussex priorities to reduce health inequality for patients with cancer.
It is intended that the outcome of this PIN will inform the tender and contract award process for NHS Sussex.
Closing date for response to this PIN: 10th October, 2022 at Noon.
Closing date for Clarification Questions: 27th September, 2022 at Noon.
