Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust · NHS and health

In brief

Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has announced plans to buy healthcare work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £49,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

It is split into 2 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 12 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £49,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The proposed framework will provide access to specialist teledermatology and telemicrobiology services to support the delivery of timely, high-quality clinical care across the health sector. Teledermatology services enable the remote assessment, triage and diagnosis of skin conditions through the secure exchange of clinical images and virtual consultation technologies, supporting earlier clinical decision-making, improved patient access to specialist expertise and reduced waiting times. Telemicrobiology services provide remote specialist clinical microbiology support, including the interpretation of microbiological investigations, clinical advice, infection diagnosis and management, antimicrobial stewardship, reporting support and second opinions across a range of clinically relevant specimen types.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
