Description

The current contract for the East of England Home Oxygen Service is delivered by BOC and is due to expire on 31st March 2022. In line with the CCGs legal obligations against the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020) the CCGs will be undertaking a procurement process to appoint a provider to deliver the new contract. The East of England Region is made up of 15 CCGs which cover 6 Integrated Care Systems (ICS). The Region is working towards creating greater consistency across ICSs particularly in the way that clinical care is commissioned and delivered. The contract is led by West Essex CCG on behalf of the CCGs within the East of England Region, these are: - Mid Essex CCG - Basildon & Brentwood CCG - Castle Point & Rochford CCG - Southend CCG - Thurrock CCG - Ipswich & Suffolk CCG - North East Essex CCG - West Suffolk CCG - Norfolk & Waveney CCG - Bedfordshire CCG - Luton CCG - Herts Valley CCG - East & North Herts CCG - Cambridgeshire & Peterborough CCG - West Essex CCG The key components of the East of England Home Oxygen Service are provided below: (i) Responding to requests for the Installation and Supply of Equipment, including identifying and providing the agreed Equipment, facilities and services required to perform the contract (ii) The ongoing maintenance and servicing of equipment (iii) The removal of equipment upon request (iv) Identifying and processing the re-imbursement of electricity costs (v) Providing business and management information (vi) Installation of equipment and the provision of consumables to service users To support the East of England Region to complete a robust process which achieves the highest standard of services for our patient population we would like to conduct a market engagement event with any interested provider. The purpose of this event is to provide the market with early sight of the requirements for the service, enabling interested providers to have an increased understanding of the requirements and seek any feedback from providers in testing the deliverability of the proposed service model. Undertaking engagement at this stage means that we can change the approach should significant concerns be raised. This event will be hosted virtually via an MS Teams Webinar on Wednesday 24th March from 2pm - 4pm. Should you wish to attend please register on the Attain Bravo Solution E-Procurement Portal.
