Tender: Nursing Home Preferred Provider List (AQP) – NHS Derby & Derbyshire ICB

About

NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care Board is seeking a supplier for a Nursing Home Preferred Provider List commissioned on an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) basis. This AQP will operate similarly to a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), allowing providers to submit applications at any time during the contract life; AQP contracts are awarded on a zero value, zero volume basis. The contract is for an initial period of five years with an option to extend up to a further two years at the commissioner’s discretion; contract length runs from point of award until the expiration date—either 31 July 2026 for the initial period or 31 July 2028 if the extension is invoked, and the contract for the initial window will commence 01 August 2021. Note the contract dates shown as 01 August 2026–02 August 2026 in the 'dates' fields are incorrect. Applications are accepted throughout the life of the agreement and contracts will be awarded during the life of the contract if providers are successful; see Document 11 of the AQP documentation on EU-Supply for full details of application windows and process. Service specification, tariff information and all associated documentation are available in the attachments on Atamis under project C153292 at https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome.
