Description
NHS Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB) is seeking to commission a provider or providers to deliver their Patient Transport Services (PTS), to include Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (NEPTS). The contract currently operating is due to expire on the 31st of March 2024. The ICB wishes to receive responses to the Invitation to Tenders (ITTs) from suitably qualified and experienced Providers with the necessary skill and experience (or a demonstrable ability to provide the skill and experience) to provide the range of services required. The ICB has re-designed the way Patient Transport Services are specified in Leicestershire. They are looking for stand-alone services for specific cohorts of patients which have varying needs. To that end the re-procurement will be split into 3 lots so 3 separate contracts may be awarded, however, bidders will have the opportunity to bid for all of the lots or any combination of lots. For the avoidance of doubt each bid will be scored on their individual merit. Therefore, it is possible that contracts could be issued to a single provider. The lots are split as follows: Lot 1 Dedicated Renal Dialysis The Provider is responsible for delivering a dedicated renal dialysis transport provision to all patients who require Dialysis & nocturnal Dialysis and are registered to an LLR GP. Lot 2 TRIPPS This service will provide High Dependency/Blue Light, Bariatric and End of Life out of University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) Emergency Departments (ED) and LLR Healthcare Settings to their destination. Lot 3 NEPTS The service will provide transport, where a medical condition means that a patient would struggle to safely attend their treatment independently, to LLR registered patients. This will include transport to and from outpatient appointments, discharges, admissions, non-High Dependency transfers, Community Mental Health appointments and therapy groups, including on the day activity and planned. The aim of the services is to deliver high quality, dignified and safe patient transport to specific cohorts of patients, ensuring all eligible patients are able to travel in a timely manner, without adverse impact on their medical condition.
Ammendments to Previous Notice
2. II.1.4)
During the refresh of the data for Lots 1 and 3 the ICB requested a mini audit of the High Dependency activity that is expected to sit within Lot 2 - TRRIPS. The outcome of this has demonstrated in a shift in the acuity of patients since the original data was gleaned. To ensure that the new service is based on the service needs, as much as possible, the ICB has taken the decision to adjust the activity for Lot 2, moving 2044 Ambulance mobility journeys, into the High Dependency mobility. The overall activity numbers for Lot 2 have not changed. The financial envelope for Lot 2 has therefore been adjusted to ensure that Bidders are able to cost realistically. The financial envelope adjustment has increased the upper limit and lower limit by 13%. The invitation to tender (ITT) will be available from 23rd September 2022 on the ML CSU Bravo portal (see below) and it will have a deadline for submissions of 12:00 noon on 21st November 12th December 2022. Bidder clarifications may be submitted to the ICB (via the ML CSU Bravo portal only) during the procurement process between the 7th October and 17:00 14th 25th November 2022.
