Southend Day Surgery Unit Managed Services Operator

Tender description

Mid and South Essex Foundation Trust (“the Authority”) hereby invites suitably experienced managed services operators to submit Tenders for the provision of managing and operating the Southend 23 hour Day Surgery Unit. The Authority is carrying out this tender process under the competitive flexible procedure, and anticipates incorporation of limited negotiation with bidders on areas such as the contract terms, the commercial offer template and KPIs. The Authority is developing a dedicated Day Surgery Unit and 23 hour Ward to re-provide and replace elective surgical capacity and address growing demand and waiting list pressures. The facility will be a ring-fenced, standalone elective care centre connected to the main hospital to ensure access to inpatient services and diagnostics when required. This model will ensure the delivery of a high-quality, sustainable, and efficient elective surgical service for Mid and South Essex, aligning with national elective recovery priorities. The Authority is seeking to commission a fully managed service offer, providing the operational management and everything from the equipment to the required minimum specification, equipment installation, maintenance and consumables for NHS clinical teams and potential to contract with the independent and private sector organisations to use.
