Technical requirements: As part of the NDPP, NHS England wishes to procure a Framework Agreement with 5 (five) providers who are able to provide, anywhere in England, up to 100 000 behavioural interventions aimed at preventing or delaying the onset of Type 2 diabetes in people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (or pre-diabetes) per annum for the initial period of the 3 year Framework Agreement. The Framework Agreement will include an option for it to be extended for a further 12 months in addition to the initial 3 year term upon review. It is anticipated that between them, the providers will deliver in the region of 100 000 behavioural interventions per annum. During the term, NHS England reserves the right, should funding become available, to increase the number of behavioural interventions per annum. The numbers of behavioural interventions may vary during the term of the Framework Agreement and these figures are estimates only, as precise quantities of likely purchases are unknown.
The Services are healthcare services which fall under "social and other specific services" under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR"). NHS England is therefore only bound by the parts of the PCR that specifically apply to social and other specific services. As permitted by the PCR, during this procurement process, NHS England may (and reserves the right to) vary the award procedure for the Framework Agreement which may (but is not limited to) include having negotiation and/or dialogue with Bidders if required, in which case all Bidders would be notified.
Services should be delivered by the Provider in accordance with the NDPP outcomes and core aims as detailed in the Specification.
The Framework Agreement will be for a term of 3 years with an option to extend for a further 12 months at the option of the Contracting Authority. The Framework Agreement value in II.2.6 is an estimated figure and covers all possible extensions. The exact value of the contract opportunities will be dependent on whether the Contracting Authority exercises the options detailed in this notice.
The Framework Agreement will include the option for the Contracting Authority to extend it for a further 12 months in addition to the initial 36 months period upon review.
