The ICB are looking to appoint a Service Provider to deliver this Service for a period of 24 months with the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The Contract will commence on the 1st April 2023.
The CCGs have set an indicative affordability threshold of £200,000 per annum (full year effect) for the Procurement. The total indicative contract value for 24 months is £400,000 and if the optional extension of 24 months is utilised the value is £800,000. The ICB reserves the right to reject Bids that are above the affordability envelope and reserve the right to seek clarification on bids that are unusually low with regards to the affordability threshold. This is an indicative threshold set to reflect the expected costs of providing the service specification and Bidders are encouraged to avoid exceeding the threshold.
