This is the announcement of the launch of a market dialogue as part of the procurement planning. This is not a contract notice or a call for tenders. The Itä-Uusimaa wellbeing services county invites service providers interested in the procurement of the responsible physician service to market prospection in connection with the preparation of the competitive tendering. The planned target of the procurement is medical services for the wards of the client's health centre hospital, as well as for residents of home care and housing service units. The object of the procurement is not temporary agency work. It is at the client's discretion whether the procurement will be carried out as a comprehensive liability model or in separate parts, for example, so that the service provider can determine how large a number of customers can be taken care of. In any case, the client is looking for a service in which the service provider commits to the long-term provision of the service to the number of customers in their care and to cooperation with the client. The purpose is for the service provider to assign to the client responsible physicians to provide the services required and a senior physician who is responsible for the operations management and consultation of other physicians. Senior doctors can also participate in client work. Senior doctors should be qualified as specialists in geriatrics. The wellbeing services county carries out a market survey, for example, by sending out draft procurement documents for the service providers to comment on and by arranging service provider-specific meetings to the extent of its discretion. The wellbeing services county will request answers to the questions raised in this request for information and registrations for the market dialogue by 3 October 2024. Replies via the following link https://forms.office.com/e/5G35tA3W3z Questions to service providers: 1) Service provider 2) Name and e-mail address of the service provider's contact person 3) The subject of the procurement is medical services for the wards of the client's health centre hospital, as well as for residents of home care and housing service units for the elderly. It is up to the client to decide whether the procurement will be carried out as a comprehensive liability model or in separate parts. Do you think the object of the procurement works? If not, how should you change it? 4) Services should be provided to the extent required in both Finnish and Swedish. In the area of well-being there are variations in the mother tongues of the customers. If necessary, the service provider must be able to assign a doctor with sufficient Swedish language skills to a Swedish-speaking customer. Is the requirement effective and how should it be specified? 5) Senior doctors will be required to have a) the qualifications of a specialist in geriatrics and, in addition, b) full-time work experience as a doctor in the housing service unit for the elderly, as a home care doctor, in a memory outpatient clinic or in other duties that mainly focus on the care of the elderly, such as, for example, in the inpatient and rehabilitation ward of a health centre, and c) experience in palliative care. Is the requirement effective in your view and how does it affect the price of the service? If not, how should it be changed? 6) The plan is that other doctors (responsible doctors) must be doctors licensed in Finland and authorised by Valvira to practise the profession of doctor. In addition, at least 2 years of work experience as a doctor is required, for example, in a geriatric acute hospital ward, outpatient clinic, rehabilitation, housing services for the elderly, home care or the bed or rehabilitation ward of a health centre. Is the requirement working for you? If not, how should it be changed? 7) As part of the quality comparison (as a voluntary requirement), the qualification of a specialist in geriatrics, internal medicine, general medicine or other suitable special field or the special qualification in palliative care is to be taken into account. Does the planned quality criterion accurately measure the quality of the medical service in the service being procured? If not, how should it be changed? 8) The plan is to require that the service provider has access to a network of appropriate specialisations/specialists from whom the senior doctor or the responsible doctor can consult if necessary. Which specialisations do you consider to be very important from the point of view of the subject of the procurement? What specialties could add value to the implementation of the service? 9) How would you see a procurement model in which the procurement would be carried out, for example, as a framework agreement between three suppliers, in which suppliers could themselves define in their tender the number of customers that the responsible medical practitioners undertake to provide during the contract period? 10) How do you view the capitalisation-based pricing model, where the bidder provides a fixed monthly or annual price per customer? What would be the appropriate starting price? 11) In your view, what quality criteria would best measure the effectiveness of the medical service being procured in the short and long term? 12) Any other comments you may have regarding the acquisition? 13) Are you interested in participating in the market dialogue in the future, for example by commenting on draft documents or through a service provider-specific meeting?
