and the Commissioners would like to seek the providers’ views on how the service could be configured including lotting approach.

This is purely a market assessment exercise. Any subsequent procurement will be advertised separately, and all organisations wishing to participate will need to respond to the procurement opportunity if and when it is published.

The aim of the market engagement exercise is to inform potential providers of the opportunity and to assist the commissioner in deciding on the most appropriate strategy including lotting approach for the future procurement.

The publication of this Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire shall in no way commit or oblige NHS England to conduct any future procurement procedure or take any further steps in relation to such procurement procedure. Respondents should not rely on any information or indication given during this engagement exercise as a commitment by the Commissioners to procure services in a particular manner, to follow a particular provider selection process or to implement any specific model of service delivery. Any future decisions will be taken in accordance with the applicable legal and regulatory framework, including the Provider Selection Regime.

If you wish to attend the market engagement event (please note that this event is held in person at Capital Park, Fulbourn, Cambridge, CB21 5XB ) please register on the Atamis website https://healthfamily.force.com/s/Welcomeand complete the questionnaire.
