Published requirement descriptionThree partners of the Somerset Integrated Care System, Somerset Integrated Care Board, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, and Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust were seeking the provision of Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPTS) in the following two categories which will be procured as two separate Lots within a single process.
Lot 1 - Patient Discharge and (inter-hospital) Transfers (PD&T)
Lot 2 - Planned NEPTS Journeys (Planned)
The County of Somerset covers a large geographical area. It has a dispersed, mainly rural population of approximately 564,000 people, with only one in four of its residents living in one of its three largest towns; Taunton; Yeovil; and Bridgwater.
Somerset has two Acute Trusts within its borders (Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust) as well as 12 community hospitals (run by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust), 64 GP practices, a hospice and several care homes. The Somerset population also relies on access to services in a few neighbouring out of county Trusts. These journeys, referred to as Zone B journeys, are generally for services which are more specialist in nature.
