Description
MLCSU is looking for suppliers to act as subcontractors who will contribute and enhance our products and service portfolios.
In order to become an accredited MLCSU preferred subcontractor, suppliers will need to clearly demonstrate their willingness and capability to:
• provide value-added services in connection with system requirements;
• provide both innovative and effective solutions that further develops service and patient outcomes throughout ICSs and ICBs and seek for continual improvement.
• positively support MLCSU with their bidding process for future call-off contracts issued under relevant frameworks.
• quickly mobilise their products and services in collaboration with the MLCSU in response to any new call off opportunities.
• be fully committed, transparent and consistent in their approach to providing effective solutions and resourcing and pricing of their products and services for the duration of our agreement.
• enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MLCSU.
• provide clear evidence of their financial standing that meets MLCSU minimum requirements.
• willingness to adopt public sector codes of practice and values e.g. social responsibility, and governance.
• commence within 60 days of receipt of application.
Interested suppliers should note that achieving accreditation does not constitute a guarantee of any volume or spend by NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit.
If a supplier is selected to carry out services on behalf of MLCSU, a contract will need to be signed (NHS Standard Contract for Services). The maximum contract value will be below the current OJEU threshold of £115,633 exc VAT for the life of the contract.
Furthermore, the above Contract Start date is subject to change; the commencement of any contract between MLCSU and an accredited sub-contractor will depend upon the specific requirements of the MLCSU.
