National Early Inflammatory Autoimmune Diseases Audit

The contract is expected to initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England and Wales, and publicly funded care in Jersey for a period of three years, at a maximum total budget of up to £930,380.40 GBP including VAT and £775,317.00 GBP excluding VAT. Bids exceeding this limit will be rejected. There is potential to extend the contract for up to two additional years as well as the option to include other Devolved Nations and/or Crown Dependencies, aspirational measures and discretionary inflationary uplifts (all of which will be defined in the service specification).
The maximum budget ‘core’ value of £930,380.40 GBP including VAT and £775,317.00 GBP excluding VAT, excludes the potential two-year extension and aspirational intent which will be included in the service specification at point of tender, meaning the ceiling value has the potential to be higher.
Due to the unknowns in advance of holding the premarket engagement session, it is currently expected that the extension value will be a two-year pro rata of the core three- year funding, estimated at £516,878.00 excluding VAT.
This proposed extension value may also include pro rata funding of any additional aspirational measures invoked in the first three years of the contract. For example: If an aspirational annual requirement costing £500,000 per year is invoked in year three, then the extension funding (if the aspirational measure is continued) will be the above figures plus the additional £500,000 per year.
Further to this funding, the final specification will contain a list of aspirational measures which will be expected to be modified into the contract should the need and funding become available. The aspirational intent value, excluding the potential two- year extension, is unknown at point of drafting this notice, so, an estimated value of £7,000,000 excluding VAT is applied to form the maximum ceiling value AT POINT OF DRAFTING THIS NOTICE. This aspirational intent has the potential to be invoked...
