Potential future aspirational intent:
The future aspirational intention of this opportunity is to potentially include:
— different topics,
— combining NCAPOP projects/programmes.
Extending service coverage to include additional countries and/or devolved nations if they were to buy into the programme and their data needed to be included in the work to be carried out. For the avoidance of doubt, the term devolved nation refers to any body which has had powers relating to health services devolved to it by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, including but not limited to Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
Extending service coverage to include non-NHS funded car.e
Additional, associated or enhanced delivery of any aspect of the Medical and Surgical Clinical Outcome Review Programme.
Other quality improvement initiatives either related to or linked with the project.
Please note, there is no commitment by the Authority at this stage to include any of these. Taking this aspirational intent into account as well as the possibility that a contract extension may be offered for an additional 2 years, the potential ceiling value is 7 000 000 GBP excluding VAT.
NB: Bidders should submit their schedule of offer based on ‘core’ delivery for the initial 3 years only. The maximum budget ‘core’ value is 2 388 765 GBP excluding VAT. This excludes the aspirational intent elements listed above.
