Engagement with potential bidders for Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPTS) for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR)

Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AG CSU) on behalf of the commissioners, West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (WL CCG), East Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning (ELR CCG) and Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (LC CCG), would like to invite providers to inform the service specification for the upcoming procurement of the NEPTS service for LLR. The commissioners would like to hear from any potential provider who would be willing to present and discuss their current and future service delivery models, capability and capacity, to help design the LLR service specification.

The commissioners would value expert insight that can be given into the delivery of this type of service and information would be greatly received. Whilst this is to help properly design a realistic service specification for an upcoming tender covering the LLR region the information you give may be shared with other CCG’s in England.

Also the information you provide and your details may be used in any rationale for the service specification content. You will then be contacted to arrange an hour slot at a time convenient to the commissioners, at their offices in LLR over the following week.

Please be aware that the commissioners will try to be as accommodating as possible within the timeline available. A further advertisement will be published notifying the market of a planned market engagement event in the near future.

The advert will be placed on Contracts Finder (https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search), and Arden & GEM CSUs’ procurement portal which will be utilised for the tender https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk. We recommend that you register with both of these websites in the meantime.
