5 2 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW 2.1 Introduction and Context to the Planned Care Strategy Over recent years, the NHS has been increasing its focus on improving the provision, access and quality of care provided outside of an acute hospital setting. The White Paper Our Health, Our Care, Our Say 1 outlined the ambition to create a fundamental shift of care from hospitals to more community-based settings and this was reiterated by Lord Darzi in Our NHS, Our Future 2 with the principle to localise where possible, centralise where necessary. The drivers underpinning this need to transform services include: The need to respond to the increased or changing demand for services as a result of an ageing society and an increased prevalence of long terms conditions; Ensuring that services are centred around the patient; and Achieving clinical and financial sustainability. The recent NHS England Guidance (2013) highlights that in order to meet the needs of our population, it is not possible to maintain the current duplication and fragmentation of care which drains resources and does not offer consistently high quality and cost effective care. The guidance states that; without transformational change in how services are delivered, a high quality, yet free at the point of use health service will not be available to future generations. 3 While considering the above stated national drivers for change in a regional context, the following key challenges are evident for NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG, which mean that how health care in Hammersmith & Fulham is delivered needs to change: The residents of Hammersmith & Fulham have changing health needs, as people live longer and live with more chronic diseases putting pressure on health care provision. Under our current model of care, we need to have more planned and integrated care, provided earlier to our population in settings outside of hospital. Patients do not always need to receive hospital based care and alternative community based services can often be delivered closer to home and be more cost effective. Capacity within our acute hospital providers is constrained and this is adversely impacting referral to treatment waiting times for patients, indicating that services need to be provided differently to ensure the best clinical outcomes Variation in both quality and access and standards must improve. 1 Department of Health (2006) Our Health, Our Care, Our Say 2 Department of Health (2007) Our Health, Our Future 3 NHS England (2013) Planning and Delivering Service changes for Patients Page 5

6 The Community Gynaecology Services Procurement is acting on national, regional and local strategic drivers for change to re-commission local outpatient services, and will contribute to the CCG s Out of Hospital Strategy 4. This programme aims to develop services in the community and focus on self-care, early diagnosis with high quality management of long term conditions, and the diagnosis and treatment of those with ambulatory emergency conditions in the community when appropriate. This would enable acute hospitals to focus on patients who are critically ill and those who require specialist investigations and interventions. 2.2 Outline Scope of Services This MoI relates to the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement for outpatient services only. Gynaecology services provide care for conditions affecting the health of the female reproductive system. Details in relation to the scope of services covered under the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement are outlined in Section Aims of the Out of Hospital Strategy The Out of Hospital Strategy is an important part of Hammersmith & Fulham s commissioning intentions, in particular, responding to the current population demographic and health challenges faced across Hammersmith & Fulham. This programme is being designed to deliver improved planned care pathways, which are accessible, safe, and achieve high quality outcomes and improved patient experience. The primary aims of the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement are to: Deliver planned care pathways in the community using a multidisciplinary approach; Provide patients with equity of access to high quality, safe and clinically effective care; Improve patient satisfaction with services; and To deliver high quality and cost effective NHS outpatient services, provided in the right setting by the right professionals. 2.4 Objectives of Community Gynaecology Services Procurement The objectives of the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement are: To reduce the number of unnecessary referrals to secondary care for diagnosis and treatment. Introduce effective, well integrated patient pathways 4 Better Care, Closer to Home Out of Hospital Strategy, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG (2012) Page 6

7 Increase the capacity of community based Gynaecology services to facilitate on-going service improvement and innovation Achieve better value for money Reduce waiting times for assessment and treatment of Gynaecology conditions Provide education support to Hammersmith & Fulham GPs on management of common gynaecological conditions 2.5 Bidder Pool A Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), will be applied for the Gynaecology Services Procurement. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG wishes to receive responses to the PQQ from suitably qualified and experienced healthcare providers. This may include GP providers (including partnerships or an alliance of general practitioners) NHS Trusts, social enterprise / third sector organisations and other relevant providers. Potential Bidders will be required to demonstrate the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to provide the range of outpatient Gynaecology Services, as set out in Section 4 of this MoI, in a safe and effective manner and to meet the requirements of paragraph 2.6 below. Potential Bidders may bid in partnership with other organisations. 2.6 Critical Success Factors (CSFs) NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG requires the Provider to meet the following CSFs throughout the life of the Contract: Access The services must be provided to meet patient access needs and preferences (e.g. easy to access locations, opening hours) and national waiting time targets must be met. Integration Providers will be expected to integrate with, and positively contribute to and communicate with the local healthcare community. Patient Choice Patients will continue to be able to exercise their choice of provider for services. Quality Patient-centred outpatient services, delivered in a safe and effective manner and delivered through a learning environment that includes the training and education of clinicians and other staff. Value for Money and Affordable The outpatient services must offer affordability and provide Value for Money for the NHS. Services must be high quality and cost effective. Page 7

8 3 NHS HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM CCG STRATEGY AND DEMOGRAPHICS 3.1 Strategic Context for Change Introduction NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG has taken into consideration national, regional and local strategies and guidance in the development of the Out of Hospital Programme and procurement of gynaecology services. There are strong and robust strategic drivers for change and key related strategies have been highlighted in this Section of the MoI. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG has also taken into consideration the recently published NHS England Guidance: Planning and delivering service changes for patients 5 (2013). This document emphasises that changes must be clinically led; programmes should be tailored to local circumstances; and patients, the public and staff should be engaged throughout the process NHS England; London: A Call to Action NHS England s publication; London: A Call to Action 6, reported that London s diverse population has resulted in a broad and growing range of health needs and that there had been a failure to close the inequalities gap. It considered that the pattern of healthcare provision with its emphasis on hospital services would not address this problem in the future and that much more should be done to support people to live healthier, independent lives through services provided in community settings that are more accessible to patients. The publication recommended that care needs to move away from traditional hospital-centred delivery and that local community based health services are developed to address the type and severity of local needs and to raise the health and wellbeing of those who are the least healthy to be in line with the healthiest. The report recognises that doing nothing is not an option and that bold transformational change is needed to the way in which services are currently delivered Shaping a Healthier Future Shaping a Healthier Future' 7 (SHaF) is a programme to improve NHS services for the two million people who live in North West London and will save hundreds of lives each year. This vision for the future of healthcare in North West London is being taken forward by the North West London Collaboration of CCGs, comprising eight Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in North West London, of which Hammersmith & Fulham is one. The North West London Collaboration of CCGs have a historical system leadership position which formed during the Primary Care 5 NHS England (2013) Planning and delivering service changes for patients 6 NHS England (2013) London: A Call to Action 7 Shaping a Healthier Future Programme, Page 8

9 Trust cluster arrangements and has continued to support implementation of the SaHF programme and more recently submitted an application for Pioneer Status for Integrated Care (Living Longer and Living Well 8 ) NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG Out of Hospital Strategy In light of the above mentioned strategic context, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG has been through a process of examining and assessing the current service use, provider performance and looking at ways in which services can be better commissioned to achieve; Improved outcomes; Improved patient experience; and Long-term financial sustainability. In 2012 NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG published our Out of Hospital Strategy 9 which outlined local plans to transform out of hospital care and provide better care, closer to home. This strategy also supports the North West London wide strategy; Shaping a Healthier Future 10, which includes plans for the reconfiguration of acute hospitals services across the whole of North West London, which will be implemented over the next three to five years. The CCGs Out of Hospital (OOH) Strategy is a key enabler for the North West London Shaping a Healthier Future (SaHF) programme. The success of SaHF is predicated on having substantial capacity in the community to meet population health needs, as described within NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG s OOH Strategy. One of the priority areas identified within the OOH strategy was a need to develop clearly understood planned care pathways. A care pathway can be defined as a multi-disciplinary management tool used to manage the quality of care for a specific group of patients through the standardisation of care processes based on evidence-based practice. In support of these pathways Hammersmith & Fulham CCGs intention is to transfer of a proportion of outpatient services, which are identified as safe and clinically appropriate to do so, from an acute hospital setting and into community settings. In addition, the King s Fund recognises that the current fragmented services fail to meet the needs of the population and that greater integration can improve the patient experience and the outcomes and efficiency of care Living Longer and Living Well, North West London s application for Pioneer Status June NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG (2012), Better Care, Closer to Home 10 The Case for Change - Shaping a Healthier Future Programme Making integrated care happen at scale and pace 2013 Page 9

10 3.2 Stakeholder Engagement Through various NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG engagement activities, Hammersmith & Fulham CCG has the following desired outcomes: Ensuring key stakeholders are kept informed about the proposed procurement; Developing an understanding of the impact on patient and stakeholder groups; Allowing input into development of services and specifications; and Meeting NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG s statutory duties in respect of disclosure of information and patient and public engagement. A specific Community Gynaecology Steering Group has been set up to support the delivery of the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. The group comprises of clinicians with an expertise or specific interest in Gynaecology Services, together with commissioners, procurement, contract and financial expertise and a patient representative. They will support the development of the detailed specification and evaluation of proposals. 3.3 NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG Demography Overview Administratively, the locality of NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG is divided into 16 wards as shown in the map below; Page 10

The costs shown are based on tariff prices for services in the acute setting and the CCG s expectation is that savings will be released on the activity commissioned through this procurement. Community Gynaecology Pilot An 18 month pilot community gynaecology scheme was implemented between August 2012 and March 2014, with further extension until December Between May and October 2013 the service saw 551 patients that would otherwise have been seen in hospital. Main operations of pilot The Community Gynaecology Pilot Service was delivered on behalf of all Hammersmith and Fulham registered patients and had provision for the North and South of Hammersmith and Fulham borough to ensure equity of access for patients. It had three main features: 1. To triage relevant non-urgent referrals for secondary care (from April 2013), 2. To provide high quality treatment for those suitable within a community setting 3. To provide education and support to local GPs by developing local protocols and referral pathways, offering telephone advice and information and running bi-annual conferences to support GPs in remaining up to date with the latest developments in the field. Page 15

16 Conditions treated under the current pilot pathway include: Management of menstrual disorders, Post - coital bleeding, Management of prolapse e.g. insertion of ring pessary and maintenance of ring pessary where necessary, Pelvic pain where appropriate, Menopause/HRT, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, Recurrent PV bleeding Vaginismus/psychosexual health issues The service is inclusive of: A single point of triage for all Gynaecology referrals, undertaken by the general practitioners with special interest in Gynaecology, Appropriate administration for the safe and effective on going management of the patient, Clinical management of patients attending the clinic, Clinical treatment of patients, both in the medical section of the service and the Uro-gynaecology physiotherapy section of the service, as triaged by the GPwSIs in Gynaecology. The pilot shows that it is clinically safe to transfer care to a community setting and that we can deliver an effective service which is well regarded by patients and their GPs. Patient satisfaction for the pilot scheme is high, as shown below; Page 16

17 This pilot has demonstrated a number of benefits to patients associated with transferring care to the community, including: Early access to services, A coordinated approach for a range of services without need for additional referrals Direct access to hospital care where it is needed, Cost effectiveness of care provided through the community pathway. The service continues to operate as a pilot. The services delivered through the current pilot will be included within the scope of the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. The learning from this pilot service will feed into further development of the Gynaecology services procurement. It will be made in conjunction with user and patient involvement, where possible, and clinical experts and provided to Bidders at the ITT stage of this procurement process. 4.2 Gynaecology Services Procurement: Scope of Services An outline scope of the services to be procured is provided in this MoI, Section NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will work together with key stakeholders and service experts to develop a detailed service specification to be provided to Bidders that have qualified for the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage Core principles In support of the aims of the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement, the development of the service scope will be guided by the core principles of: The services will be provided within a community setting; The services will need to be well coordinated and integrated to ensure that patients receive the right care without unnecessary delays and duplication arising from fragmented care The services must deliver good patient experience and effective clinical outcomes The services must be led by clinicians with the right skills and use a multidisciplinary approach Patients must be provided with equity of access to services and in line with national waiting time targets, including national referral to treatment times requirements. Patients must be able to continue to exercise their choice of provider for services. The pathways should promote patient self-care and education (and provide, for example, shared care plans where appropriate) It is envisaged that Providers will be required to deliver services from two locations, broadly serving the residents in the north and south of the Hammersmith & Fulham area. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG is investigating whether existing premises can be made available to Providers for the delivery of services. Page 17

18 4.2.2 Service Scope for Procurement The scope of the services to be inclusive in the Community Gynaecology Service Procurement will provide the residents of Hammersmith & Fulham with assessment, diagnosis, treatment and care planning for the following non-urgent Gynaecology conditions. This is an indicative broad scope only and further details will be provided to shortlisted Bidders at Invitation to Tender Stage: Management of menstrual disorders, Post - coital bleeding, Management of prolapse e.g. insertion of ring pessary and maintenance of ring pessary where necessary, Pelvic pain where appropriate, Menopause/HRT, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, Recurrent PV bleeding Vaginismus/psychosexual health issue Early fertility assessment with/without PCOS Ultrasound Incontinence Long acting reversible contraception for women with complex histories Acute gynaecology consultant-led clinics in the community for more complex gynaecology patients Uro-gynaecology physiotherapy The following are excluded from this procurement: Male Patients Termination of pregnancy Suspected Cancer- this includes Postmenopausal bleeding Irregular (non-cyclical) bleeding in a woman aged 45 and over Suspected vulval or cervical cancer Complex ovarian cysts suggestive on ultrasound scan of ovarian cancer Colposcopy referrals Early pregnancy problems Women with multiple/complex co-morbidities Women who have already had a work up and treatment in the intermediate service without resolution Hysterectomy The levels of activity to be commissioned through this Community Gynaecology Services Procurement will be detailed in the ITT documentation. Page 18

19 5 PROCUREMENT PROCESS OVERVIEW 5.1 Overview NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will follow an open and competitive procurement process to commission the services identified in Section 4 of this MoI. The procurement process adopted by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will be governed under the Public Contract Regulations 2006 and will follow a fair, open and transparent process. It should be noted that under the Public Contract Regulations 2006, the provision of Health Services is regarded as a Part B service and as such falls under a lighter regime. Part B Services are however still subject to the general obligations of transparency, equal treatment, non-discrimination and proportionality. A compressed restricted procurement process will be used for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. This process involves the Pre-Qualification Stage and the Tender Stage being released simultaneously : 1. Pre-Qualification Stage: Potential Bidders will be required to complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), where interested parties will be assessed on the basis of capability and capacity to deliver the service. The questions will take the format of Yes/No responses from which potential bidders will achieve a qualify in or qualify out score. Those potential bidders who achieve a qualify in score will be invited to participate immediately in the Invitation to Tender stage (ITT). 2. Tender stage: Bidders who achieve a qualify in score from the PQQ will be invited to participate immediately in the Invitation to Tender stage (ITT) at which stage further detailed specification will be provided. The questions will be more detailed and require evidence to show development of capability or capacity to deliver the service. Details regarding the procurement structure are provided for information, and NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG may amend these details at any time during the procurement process. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG reserves the right to cease to continue with the process at any stage during the procurement and/or not to proceed to award. If the process were to be abandoned the CCG shall not be held liable for any losses or costs incurred by the Bidder. 5.2 Gynaecology Services Procurement Timeline The timeline for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement is set out in Table 5 below. Further details are provided in paragraphs below. It should be noted that the dates are indicative dates at the time of issuing this MoI and may be subject to change. If the dates are to be amended, the CCG shall not be held liable for any losses, costs or inconvenience incurred by the Bidder. Page 19

The notification allows potential providers an opportunity to be made aware of the Community Gynaecology Service Procurement Memorandum of Information (MoI) This MoI provides Potential Bidders with information on the procurement process and the service scope enabling them to make an informed decision about whether they wish to register their interest in the NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. Page 21

22 5.4 Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) The PQQ provides detailed information on the PQQ process, guidance on how to complete the PQQ and a series of questions for Potential Bidders to answer. The PQQ (and ITT) will be issued, via BravoSolutions e-tendering portal in August At the same time a notice will be placed on Contracts Finder to encourage responses from as wide a range of organisations as possible. Potential Bidders are encouraged to register on Contracts Finder and essentially BravoSolutions All Potential Bidders who have registered via BravoSolutions will be able to download the documentation for completion. Potential Bidders wishing to participate in the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement must respond to the PQQ (and ITT) before the deadline stated. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG reserves the right to reject any PQQ (and ITT) submission received after that deadline. A clarification question and answer process will operate during the PQQ stage and will be explained in the PQQ documentation. The PQQ is designed to evaluate whether the Potential Bidder has sufficient; knowledge and experience; capacity and capability and organisational financial standing in order to provide the outpatient services which are the subject of this Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. The PQQ evaluation will produce a total score from which Potential Bidders will automatically qualify themselves in or out of proceeding to ITT stage. It is anticipated that a minimum of five but no more than seven Potential Bidders are likely to qualify to proceeding to ITT stage. Further details of the PQQ process and self evaluation will be set out in the PQQ stage. 5.5 Invitation to Tender (ITT) Following the PQQ evaluation, successful Potential Bidders will qualify themselves to proceed immediately to the ITT stage for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will use the ITT stage to set out further details on our requirements for Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. The Invitation to Tender (ITT) provides: Page 22

24 6 COMMERCIAL FRAMEWORK Potential Bidders attention is drawn to the following commercial information: 6.1 Contract The contract to be entered into by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG and the selected Provider(s) for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement will be based on the NHS England Standard Contract It is envisaged that the 2014/15 version of the contract will be used for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. The Contract will be separate to and independent of any existing contract currently in place between a Provider and NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG. 6.2 Contract Duration It is anticipated that the contract will be for a term of three years with the possibility of extending the term beyond the initial contracted duration by mutual agreement with the Provider for a period of up to two successive years. The Term of Contract will however be confirmed at ITT stage. 6.3 Clinical NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG is seeking Providers with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to deliver high quality, and cost effective outpatient Gynaecology services, delivered in a safe and clinically effective manner and through an environment which harbours integration of services. Providers will need to demonstrate at PQQ stage that appropriate registration with CQC will be in place prior to delivering services. Further clinical requirements will be set out in the PQQ and ITT documentation. 6.4 Workforce Policies and Strategies At ITT stage, Potential Bidders will be required to provide evidence that they will be able to meet all NHS England Standard Contract policies in relation to workforce requirements. Further details of the staff resourcing and workforce policy requirements will also be included in the ITT stage Staff Transfers (TUPE) If a new provider is selected as the Preferred Bidder and awarded the contract, any person/staff currently providing the services may be eligible for transfer under Page 24

25 the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 ("TUPE Regulations") when the new service provision commences. Details of any staff identified as potentially being eligible for a TUPE transfer under the TUPE Regulations, shall be requested by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG from the incumbent provider. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will communicate anonymous information provided by the incumbent provider during tender stage in order to assist Bidders in determining what staff may be eligible to transfer in accordance with the TUPE Regulations, in order that Bidders can factor this in to their Bid proposals 6.5 Premises, Facilities Management & Equipment Premises If possible, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will mandate property solutions so as to make use of available existing NHS property stock. In such circumstances, Providers will be required to enter into a lease arrangement for the use of that property. Where NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG does not mandate a property solution, Bidders will be required to propose their own premises solution at ITT stage. Further details on such proposals and / or requirements for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement will be set out in the ITT stage. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG envisages that the services will be required to be delivered from two sites in the Borough broadly serving the residents in the north and south of the Borough. The Provider will be expected to fund rent, rates, utility, and insurance costs for the premises solution. The exact mechanics of the payment mechanism will be detailed in the ITT Facilities Management Services (FM Services) Potential Bidders will be expected to fund FM Services costs except where FM Services at a NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG mandated property are provided as part of a separate, wider arrangement. Under these circumstances, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG may require the Provider to utilise existing FM Services. Further details on FM Services requirements for the Gynaecology Services Procurement will be set out in the ITT documentation Equipment Providers will be responsible for the provision and cost of equipment. Further details will be made available at ITT stage. 6.6 IM&T Providers will be responsible for the maintenance and cost of all IM&T equipment (including IM&T hardware and software, licenses and IT support services), required to meet the needs of the service. Page 25

26 These will need to meet local and national standards and support CCG direction of travel regarding interoperability. The Information Governance arrangements and processes will need to comply with Health Social Care Information Centre standards to ensure information flows efficiently and securely across the health and social care system, to improve patient outcomes. Further details on IM&T requirements for the NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG procurement will be set out in the ITT documentation. 6.7 Payment Mechanism Payment to a Provider for the services will generally be linked to volume of activity or the number of patients to whom services are provided. Further details on the payment mechanism for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement will be set out in the ITT. 6.8 Economic and Financial Standing Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will be considering both economic and financial standing requirements for the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement at the PQQ stage. It is likely to include satisfactory demonstration of a Potential Bidder s history of profitable trading and an associated positive cash flow, such that the Potential Bidder is able to safely deliver the required services. 6.9 Insurance Potential Bidders will be required at ITT stage to demonstrate that they currently have or are able to obtain insurance / indemnity requirements as set out in the NHS England Standard Contract prior to contract award Sub-Contractors Bidders will be required to comply with the requirements of the NHS England Standard Terms when entering into sub contracts with Sub Contractors, and this will include ensuring that all Sub Contractors are appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission and hold a Provider Licence with Monitor.

27 7 GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION 7.1 Requirements Procurement Costs Each Relevant Organisation will be responsible for its own costs incurred throughout each stage of the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement process. Neither NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG, nor its advisors will be responsible for any costs incurred by any Relevant Organisation or any other person through this process Consultation NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will lead on all local stakeholder engagement issues. All outcomes received will be considered and necessary details or changes will be included in the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement ITT The Public Contract Regulations 2006 The services to which this MoI relates fall within Part B of Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (the Regulations) and Annex II B to Council Directive 2004/18/EC. Neither the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage nor the use of the term Pre-Qualification Questionnaire" nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement intends to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Part B services. This is a Part B clinical healthcare service and has been advertised through Contracts Finder. The CCG will comply with the requirements for NHS procurement to procure in a fair, transparent and equitable manner Conflicts of interest In order to ensure a fair and competitive procurement process, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG requires that all actual or potential conflicts of interest that a potential Bidder may have are identified and resolved to the satisfaction of NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG. Potential Bidders should notify NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG of any actual or potential conflicts of interest in their response to the PQQ. If the Potential Bidder becomes aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest following submission of the PQQ it should immediately notify NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG via to nwlcsu.procurement@nhs.net. Such notifications should provide details of the actual or potential conflict of interest. If, following consultation with the Potential Bidder or Bidder, such actual or potential conflict(s) are not resolved to the satisfaction of NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG, then NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG reserves the right to exclude at any time any potential Bidder or Bidder from the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement process should any actual or potential conflict(s) of interest be found by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG to confer an Page 27

28 unfair competitive advantage on one or more potential Bidder(s), or otherwise to undermine a fair and competitive procurement process Non-collusion and Canvassing Each Potential Bidder and Bidder must neither disclose to, nor discuss with any other Potential Bidder, or Bidder (whether directly or indirectly), any aspect of any response to the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement. Each Potential Bidder and Bidder must not canvass or solicit or offer any gift or consideration whatsoever as an inducement or reward to any officer or employee of, or person acting as an adviser to, either the NHS or the DH in connection with the selection of Bidders or the Provider in relation to the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement Freedom of Information NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG is committed to open government and meeting its legal responsibilities under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (2000). Accordingly, any information created by or submitted to NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG (including, but not limited to, the information contained in the MoI, PQQ, or ITT and the submissions, Bids and clarification answers received from Potential Bidders and Bidders) may need to be disclosed by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG in response to a request for information. In making a submission or Bid or corresponding with NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG at any stage of the Gynaecology Services Procurement, each Potential Bidder, Bidder and each Relevant Organisation acknowledges and accepts that NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG may be obliged under the FOIA to disclose any information provided to it: Page 28 Without consulting the Potential Bidder or Bidder; or Following consultation with the Potential Bidder or Bidder and having taken its views into account. Potential Bidders and Bidders must clearly identify any information supplied in response to the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement PQQ or ITT that they consider to be confidential or commercially sensitive and attach a brief statement of the reasons why such information should be so treated and for what period. Where it is considered that disclosing information in response to a FOIA request could cause a risk to the procurement process or prejudice the commercial interests of any Potential Bidder or Bidder, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG may wish to withhold such information under the relevant FOIA exemption. However, Potential Bidders should be aware that NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG is responsible for determining at its absolute discretion whether the information requested falls within an exemption to disclosure, or whether it must be disclosed.

29 Potential Bidders should therefore note that the receipt by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG of any information marked confidential or equivalent does not mean that NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG accepts any duty of confidence by virtue of that marking, and that NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG has the final decision regarding the disclosure of any such information in response to a request for information Disclaimer The information contained in this MoI is presented in good faith and does not purport to be comprehensive or to have been independently verified. Neither the NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG nor any of its advisers accept any responsibility or liability in relation to its accuracy or completeness or any other information which has been, or which is subsequently, made available to any Potential Bidder, Bidder, Provider, Bidder Member, Relevant Organisation, Clinical Services Supplier, financiers or any of their advisers, orally or in writing or in whatever media. Interested parties and their advisers must therefore take their own steps to verify the accuracy of any information that they consider relevant. They must not, and are not entitled to, rely on any statement or representation made by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG or any of its advisers. This MoI is intended only as a preliminary background explanation of NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG activities and plans and is not intended to form the basis of any decision on the terms upon which NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG will enter into any contractual relationship. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG reserves the right to change the basis of, or the procedures (including the timetable) relating to, the Gynaecology Services Procurement process, to reject any, or all, of the PQQ submissions and Gynaecology Services Procurement ITT Bids, not to invite a Potential Bidder to proceed further, not to furnish a Potential Bidder with additional information nor otherwise to negotiate with a Potential Bidder in respect of the Gynaecology Services Procurement. NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG shall not be obliged to appoint any of the Bidders and reserves the right not to proceed with the Community Gynaecology Services Procurement, or any part thereof, at any time. Nothing in this MoI is, nor shall be relied upon as, a promise or representation as to any decision by NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG in relation to this Gynaecology Services Procurement.
