NHS Bedfordshire and Luton CCGs - Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services Market Engagement

It is the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) intention to procure a Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service.

NHS Bedfordshire and Luton CCGs recognise how important it is that our stakeholders are informed and engaged in respect of this service.

The CCGs will be taking the opportunity to review the current service specification and model with a view to making service improvements which will be informed by engagement with service providers.

The CCGs are considering enhancing the existing service model and eligibility criteria so there is greater consistency and clarity of provision.

The CCGs therefore, are seeking suitably qualified service providers to engage on the development of this service.

NHS Bedfordshire and Luton CCGs believe structured sessions with providers is essential to inform our market knowledge, and the opportunities for service enhancement.

There will also be the opportunity to articulate how you believe your organisation can add value, support the development of specification and outcomes to our services and to what extent can enable more effective integration with other parts of the system.

If you wish to participate in the market engagement, please complete and e-mail the expression of interest form to rebecca.farquhar@attain.co.uk by 5pm on Friday 4th August 2017.
