Midlands and Lancashire CSU Supplier Accreditation Scheme - Window 7

Description

MLCSU is looking for suppliers to act as subcontractors who will contribute and enhance our products and service portfolios. In order to become an accredited MLCSU preferred subcontractor, suppliers will need to clearly demonstrate their willingness and capability to: • provide value-added services in connection with system requirements; • provide both innovative and effective solutions that further develops service and patient outcomes throughout ICSs and ICBs and seek for continual improvement. • positively support MLCSU with their bidding process for future call-off contracts issued under relevant frameworks. • quickly mobilise their products and services in collaboration with the MLCSU in response to any new call off opportunities. • be fully committed, transparent and consistent in their approach to providing effective solutions and resourcing and pricing of their products and services for the duration of our agreement. • enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MLCSU. • provide clear evidence of their financial standing that meets MLCSU minimum requirements. • willingness to adopt public sector codes of practice and values e.g. social responsibility, and governance. • commence within 60 days of receipt of application. Interested suppliers should note that achieving accreditation does not constitute a guarantee of any volume or spend by NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit. If a supplier is selected to carry out services on behalf of MLCSU, a contract will need to be signed (NHS Standard Contract for Services). The maximum contract value will be below the current OJEU threshold of £115,633 exc VAT for the life of the contract. Furthermore, the above Contract Start date is subject to change; the commencement of any contract between MLCSU and an accredited sub-contractor will depend upon the specific requirements of the MLCSU. Additional information: Should you wish to express your interest in becoming a preferred subcontractor of MLCSU under this initiative, then please register on the MLCSU Bravo Solutions portal, https://mlcsu.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml, and access MLCSU Support Services Accreditation Scheme 'Window 7' (Project Ref: 654 /open-access PQQ Ref: 520). You will need to complete the questionnaire in line with the described methodology and full details of the support services under this framework. This accreditation process will open on 6th January 2023, with submissions to be returned no later than 17:00 hours on Monday, 30th January 2023. However, MLCSU will accept submissions before the closure date of 30th January 2023 and may evaluate these at any stage during the window of opening the procurement exercise to the closure date. Where a provider fails an element of the accreditation scheme they will be offered relevant feedback and may be able to resubmit their application at a future time.
