Market Engagement Event for Wheelchairs Service across Derbyshire

NHS Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (SDCCG) acting as Lead Commissioner on behalf of the Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Groups (NHS Hardwick CCG, NHS Erewash CCG and NHS North Derbyshire CCG) is holding a Market Engagement event for Wheelchair Services for Adults and Children across Derbyshire on 14th June 2018 (10.00 - 1.00pm) in Derbyshire (Venue to be confirmed).

Places are strictly limited therefore reservations are limited to no more than 2 persons per Organisation. You can express an interest in this market testing exercise and bidder information event by registering your organisation on the Bravo website: https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk. The PQQ reference is PQQ_481.

Once registered, please complete the questions in the qualification envelope which asks providers to give details about your organisation's name and postal address, email address, contact name and number. Please register your attendance by no later than 12pm (noon) 8th June 2018.

It is the Commissioners intention to share the draft service specification prior to the event and invite comments from Providers. Once the draft specification has been uploaded onto the portal, a broadcast message will be sent to alert all providers who have already registered for the market engagement event, that it is available for review. Details on how providers can give feedback on the draft specification will be included. Please note that whilst there may be an opportunity to comment, the Commissioners are not obligated to incorporate or change the draft specification. This process has been designed to allow the market visibility of the proposed opportunity and support early engagement and networking between providers looking to sub-contract or form partnerships with other providers.

The service will assess children, young people and adults and provide wheelchair and all associated equipment as appropriate based on broad categories of need.
