Technical requirements: PIN and Soft Market Testing – Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation for Chronic Pancreatitis (Adults)
NHS England Specialised Commissioning is planning to commission centres to provide Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation for Chronic Pancreatitis (Adults) and is inviting all suitably qualified providers to complete a Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. Interested parties should respond to this notice as the responses to the questionnaire will be used to support the identification of the future commissioning route for the new service.
Interested organisations are also invited to join a market engagement event delivered via a WebEx session on 25.9.2018, 10:30 am — 11:30 pm. The purpose of the WebEx session is to tell you more about the service requirements and enable you to raise questions related to the services.
For more information on how to complete the soft market questionnaire and register for the WebEx session please refer to section "VI.3) Additional information".
For the service scope please refer to the clinical commissioning policy (https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/clinical-commissioning-policy-total-pancreatectomy-with-islet-auto-transplant-for-chronic-pancreatitis-adults) and to pqq_530 on https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk/
The policy above suggests that up to 4 service centres (one per region) may be allocated nationally. Thus, the proposal put forward with this PIN consists of 4 centres as potential lotting model for the service. The soft market questionnaire will allow interested organisations to propose an alternative approach (up to the limit of 4 allocated centres nationally in line with the policy) and provide reasons for their proposed model.
