Pathology services

Description

This notice is published for the purpose of early market engagement only. The Pathology Services Departments at North Bristol NHS Trust, University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, Royal United Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Weston Area Health NHS Trust and Public Health England (the ‘Organisations’) are seeking to engage with interested parties (‘Service Providers’) to discuss the latest developments in Managed Equipment Service (‘MES’) models and to explore further opportunities to help shape and drive benefit across a number of key deliverables. This notice is published for the purpose of early market engagement only. For the avoidance of doubt, this market consultation exercise implies no commercial commitment and is not a formal tender process. The Organisations intend to undertake such market consultation exercise to inform a formal competitive tender process for a Pathology MES, which is planned to be undertaken during early 2018. A Memorandum of Information and a Market Sounding Questionnaire (‘Questionnaire’) can be accessed via: https://ukstage.eu-supply.com. Interested Service Providers are required to complete Section 1 of such Questionnaire, and a Market Consultation Event (‘Event’) is planned for Thursday 7.9.2017. Please note that, only by responding to the Questionnaire, will Service Providers be able to attend the Event.
