Provision of a Managed Service Contract for Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) follows the PIN released on 24th January 2022 reference 2022/S 000-002062 and all information herein supersedes this. This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is separate to any tender opportunity and not related in any form whatsoever to any subsequent activity that ICHT (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust) or NWL PS (North West London Procurement Services) may wish to pursue. The purpose of this PIN is to inform the market of ICHT’s intention to tender, to improve ICHT’s knowledge on the status of manufacturer(s) and/or economic operator(s) that can supply a commercially available Managed Services Contract (MSC) for Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories (Cath Labs) and to gauge market interest in the new provision of this service. It is the intention of ICHT to further engage with only those manufacturer(s) and economic operator(s) who meet the requirements.

The PIN relates to the provision of a Managed Service Contract for Cath Labs at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, with the potential to include other Trusts and partners within the North West London ICB, who also operate Cath Labs to promote a sector-wide collaboration within the NWL ICB.

The PIN initiates a Request for Information (RFI) process which is, therefore, being undertaken for the following reasons:

i). To engage the marketplace in order to inform the further development of the Trusts' commercial and go-to-market strategy.
ii). To explore solutions for the future service provision for Cath Labs in line with market trends and developments
iii). To formulate a specification that is future-proofed by receiving feedback from economic operators and manufacturers

After the conclusion of the RFI, it is anticipated that plans for the Managed Service provision for the Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories shall be devised for the participating Trusts under North West London Procurement Services and the NWL ICB
