ITT for Severe Intestinal Failure Services - Integrated Centres

NHS England is commissioning Severe Intestinal Failure(SIF) Services through a programme of work that will be commissioned in two phases. This procurement is for Phase one (1) only. Phase 1 is to commission up to 12 Integrated Centres (IC) (contracts of 4 years + up to 6 months) treating patients with SIF Type 2 and 3 across England. This will commission the ICs for the catchment areas that they will serve for patients requiring SIF management, related hospital care and the local Home Parenteral Nutrition service. Phase 1 will also commission 2 national reference centres (contracts of 3 years). Phase 2 will be to commission HPN Centres only in the areas not covered or awarded in Phase 1. This Notice and ITT are relating to Phase 1 of this project. Phase 1 is split into 20 lots. Lots 1 - 18 are for integrated centres in defined areas across England. Lots 19 - 20 are for 2 national reference centres (Lot 19 - North England; Lot 20 - London & South England). The total added contract value across all Lots is £3587000 as a result of this procurement.
