Notice Information

Notice Title

Carpal Tunnel Services in North East Essex

Notice Description

NHS North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) hereby invite suitably qualified service providers to submit tenders for the provision of Carpal Tunnel Services in North East Essex. The CCG wishes to establish a single community provider contract for the provision of Carpal Tunnel Services. This will be a Community Service provided under a separate community contract. The Provider will receive all North East Essex referrals into this community service and there will be a community fixed price tariff i.e. non Payment by Results (PbR). Referrals will be made by North East Essex GP Practices, the community physiotherapy service and the Clinical Assessment Service. In line with the Department of Health Patient Choice Framework, as a community service is available, there will be no legal requirement for a patient to be offered a choice of provider. GP practices will make the initial assessment and provide the first stage of conservative treatment i.e. wrist brace (where deemed appropriate) in primary care. Practices that are clinically competent will also administer steroid injections as the second stage of conservative treatment where appropriate. Practices recorded by the CCG as not being able to administer injections will refer patients to this community service for one course of treatment only (unless exceptional circumstances such as surgery is not an option). Following receipt of an injection, patients will be discharged back to their GP. If the GP believes that the conservative treatment has not been effective following the prescribed period, the GP may make a separate referral for Carpal surgery. Where following assessment by this service, the patient is found to have more complex needs and requires referral to an acute provider, this Service will make the referral to the provider. The CCG is seeking to commission a consistent, timely, high quality, flexible and accessible service to patients that will focus on patient outcomes. Additional information: To express an interest in tendering for this service and access the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents and all other information concerning the procurement, please go to: https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html Click on 'Register' and follow the on screen instructions. Responses must be fully completed and submitted exclusively via the BravoSolution e-procurement portal no later than 12:00 noon on 1 October 2021. The contract term will be for an initial 60 months, with the option to extend by a further 24 months. You are advised that the PS2,890,448 value relates to the 7 years (5 years plus option to extend by 2 years). The maximum contract value for the 5 year contract is PS2,024,585. The services to which this process relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020) ("the Regulations"). As such, the CCG does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 Services.
